5w1277-10 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MUMBAI CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO.1277 OF 2010 Raju Shankar Shete. .. Petitioner. Vs. The State of Maharashtra and another .. Respondents. .... Mrs.I.M. Koparkar, Advocate for the petitioner. Mrs.S.D. Shinde, A.P.P. for the State. .... CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE & A.R.JOSHI, JJ. DATED : 27TH APRIL, 2010 P.C. 1. Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. By this writ petition, the petitioner has challenged the order dated 23.11.2009 passed by the Divisional Commissioner, Pune Division, Pune rejecting the petitioner’s application for parole on the ground that on two earlier occasions, while on parole leave, he overstayed. The parole leave was sought by the petitioner on the ground that his mother was ailing at the relevant time. The application was filed sometime in July, 2009. The petitioner has not placed any material on record to show that even 5w1277-10 2 now his mother is suffering from any illness. In view thereof, we are not inclined to interfere with the order impugned in the Petition. However, the petitioner will have a liberty to apply for parole afresh. If he makes an application for parole leave afresh, the same may be considered and dealt with in accordance with law and the Prison (Bombay Furlough and Parole Leave) Rules, 1959. With these observations, writ petition is disposed of. (A.R.JOSHI,J.) (D.B.BHOSALE,J.)
