Mr. J.P.Yagnik, APP for Respondent Nos.3 & 4. ----- CORAM : A.M. KHANWILKAR and U.D. SALVI, JJ. DATE : 14 th September, 2010. P.C. 1 This petition is filed through jail. By this petition, the decision of the appropriate authority of imposing conditions for release on parole leave are subject matter of challenge. Two conditions have been imposed on the Petitioner. Firstly, to execute surety bond of Rs.10,000/- of relative who would receive the Petitioner while on parole leave. The second is personal bond of Rs.10,000/- in form A and B respectively. As the Petitioner is not in a position to comply with the aforesaid two 2 7 appw.152.10 conditions, we find substance in the submission canvassed by the Petitioner that the Petitioner may be allowed to avail of the parole leave on furnishing personal bond of the Petitioner that too only for the sum of Rs.500/-, which is within the reach of the Petitioner. It is not in dispute that the Petitioner is continuously in jail since 2001 and has not availed any leave whatsoever since then. In the facts of the present case, in the interest of justice, therefore, we set aside the condition imposed by the appropriate authority of furnishing surety bond of Rs.10,000/- and personal bond of Rs.10,000/- and instead it will stand modified to Petitioner offering personal bond of Rs.500/- in form B. Rest of the conditions specified in the parole order to remain as it is. Petition is disposed of on the above terms. 2 Court expresses word of gratitude for the able assistance given by the advocate appointed to espouse the cause of the Petitioner. 3 Copy of this order be forwarded to the Petitioner who is in jail, forthwith.
