1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO.683 OF 2010 Muktaram S/o.Sitaram Shinde, Age-Major, Occu-NIL, R/o.At Present, at Central Prison, Aurangabad, Convict No.6617, Dist. Aurangabad PETITIONER VERSUS The State of Maharashtra, Through the Special Police Inspector General (Prison), Central Region, Aurangabad RESPONDENT Mr.S.P.Katneshwarkar, learned counsel for the petitioner. Mr.K.B.Chaudhary, learned A.P.P. for respondent State. (CORAM : P.V.HARDAS, AND A.V.POTDAR, J.J.) DATE : 30/08/2010 PER COURT : 1. This is a petition under Article 226 of The Constitution of India by which the petitioner prays that he be released on furlough. 2. Previous two writ petitions filed by the petitioner for the same relief had been rejected by this Court. It appears that initially the petitioner had been released on parole by an order dated 2 03/07/1993. The petitioner, however, did not surrender within the stipulated period and was required to be arrested by the Local Crime Branch on 13/01/1995. The petitioner had thus absconded for 526 days. Subsequently, by an order dated 21/11/1998, the petitioner came to be released for 30 days w.e.f. 20/03/1999. The petitioner, however, did not surrender within time and was absconding for 7 years, 6 months and 16 days, and was required to be arrested by the Bori Police on 07/11/2006. 3. In the light of the fact that, on two earlier occasions, when the petitioner had been released, the petitioner had absconded for 526 days and 7 years, 6 months and 16 days respectively, we are not inclined to allow this petition. The petition is, therefore, dismissed with no order as to costs. (A.V.POTDAR, J.) (P.V.HARDAS, J.) khs/AUGUST 2010/cri.w.p.683-10
