-1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO. 52 OF 2009 Vinod Shankar Chauhan ... Petitioner vs. The Divisional Commissioner, Pune and others ... Respondents Mrs. Indrayani M. Koparkar for the petitioner. Smt. U.V. Kejariwal, Additional Public Prosecutor, for the State CORAM: BILAL NAZKI & ANOOP V. MOHTA , JJ. DATE: JANUARY 29, 2009 P.C. Petitioner's application for grant of parole has been rejected on the ground that police report was adverse to him. The police report has been shown to us. It does not disclose any basis on the basis of which police came to the conclusion that the petitioner may go absconding after obtaining parole. The petitioner had applied for parole leave on 23rd February, 2008. In the said application, the petitioner has stated that his wife was unwell. The learned counsel for the petitioner has not pointed out whether the petitioner's wife is now well or unwell. In these circumstances, we are not inclined to pass any order with regard to grant of parole leave to the petitioner on the ground that his wife is unwell. However, we are told that the petitioner is in prison continuously from 2004. In this view of the matter, we dispose of the petition allowing the petitioner to move a fresh application for parole/furlough. If such an application -2- is made, the same shall be decided by the authorities within one week and the decision shall immediately be communicated to the petitioner. Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. BILAL NAZKI, J. ANOOP V. MOHTA, J.
