1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO. 38 OF 2005 Joshi Suhas Purushottam, Convict Prisoner No.716, At Central Jail Aguada. ... Petitioner versus State of Goa through Chief Secretary and others. ... Respondents Mr. D. Pangam, Advocate for the Petitioner under Legal Aid Scheme. Ms. W. Coutinho, Public Prosecutor for the Respondents. CORAM : N. A. BRITTO, J. DATE : 16TH FEBRUARY,2006. P.C.:- Heard Mr. D. Pangam, the learned Counsel on behalf of the petitioner who has also submitted an application signed by the petitioner. It appears that the petitioner had sought furlough to see his mother who was residing at their ancestral house at Arondha, Sawantwadi but the said mother expired recently at Panaji where she was residing along with her other son. The application filed by the petitioner was rejected after 2 conducting necessary inquiries and even then it had come to light through the said inquiries that the said mother was not residing at Arondha but she was residing elsewhere. The rejection of furlough on grounds given by the Inspector General of Prisons per se could not be faulted and since now the petitioner has himself not wished to pursue this petition on account of the death of his mother. Nothing survives in this petition and the same is accordingly dismissed. N. A. BRITTO, J. RD
