1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO.561 OF 2008 (Bhaurao Punjaram Thorat vs. Deputy Inspector General (Prisons) (East) and another ___________________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. CORAM : D.D. SINHA AND A.P. BHANGALE , JJ. DATED : OCTOBER 22, 2008 Heard Shri Badar, learned Counsel for the petitioner, and Shri Doifode, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the respondents. The petition is directed against the order dated 30.7.2008 passed by the D.I.G. (Prison) whereby application of the petitioner for grant of furlough leave came to be rejected in view of provisions of Rule 4(6) of the Prison (Bombay Furlough and Parole) Rules, 1959. We have considered the contentions of the learned Counsel for the parties. It is not in dispute that on the earlier occasion when the petitioner was released on furlough leave, he did not surrender on due date and surrendered late by 67 days. It is also brought to the notice of this Court by the learned 2 Additional Public Prosecutor that even earlier to that, when the petitioner was released on parole leave vide order dated 17.1.2006, the petitioner did not surrender on due date. In the circumstances, opinion expressed by the competent Authority in view of provisions of Rule 4(6) of the Rules of 1959 appears to be just and proper and needs no interference. The criminal writ petition is dismissed. JUDGE JUDGE khj
