IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 440 OF 2009 IN CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO. 2960 OF 2009 LAXMAN BHUBARAMJI PARIHAR.. .. PETITIONER VERSUS THE STATE OF MAHARAHSHTRA .. .. RESPONDENT Mrs. Nasreen S. K. Ayubi for the petitoiner Mr. H. J. Dedhia, APP CORAM: SMT. RANJANA DESAI & SMT. MRIDULA BHATKAR,JJ. DATED : 28th January, 2010 P.C. The petitioner has been released on furlough. He has been asked to furnish two sureties, one from Maharashtra and one from Rajasthan. The petitioner has furnished surety from Rajasthan. He has prayed that he may be permitted to furnish second surety also from Rajasthan and not from Bombay. 2. Learned APP informs us that on the last occasion when the petitioner was released on parole he did not surrender to the prison. He was arrested after 352 days. Mrs. Ayubi says that punishment has been imposed on the petitioner by the prison authority. That may be so, but the condition of furnishing local surety cannot be dispensed with. If the petitioner again absconds it would be difficult for the prison authorities to locate the sureties. One surety from Maharashtra is, therefore, necessary. If he does not furnish such a surety, he cannot be released on furlough. 3. Application is rejected with the above observations. 4. This order be communicated to the petitioner in jail. (Smt.
