Petitioner. vs. The State of Maharashtra ..Respondent. .... None for the petitioner Mr.P.A.Pol, PP for the respondent/State. .... CORAM : J.N. PATEL AND A.A. SAYED, JJ. DATE : 7th NOVEMBER 2009. P.C.: 1. Heard learned P.P. 2. The learned P.P. Submits that the Superintendent of Kolhapur Central Jail, Kalamba has sent a letter, dated 6th November 2009 addressed to him. The same is taken on record. 3. The letter sent by the convict is treated as criminal writ petition. In the said letter, he has stated that the respondent be directed to adopt the old procedure which was provided for furnishing surety while a prisoner was released on furlough. Such an application .. 2 .. cannot be entertained for the reason that the new procedure for acceptance of surety, when a prisoner is released on furlough, has been issued by the State vide Government Resolution dated16th December 2008 pursuant to the directions given by the High Court in Writ Petition No. 1155 of 2005 and Writ Petition No. 2211 of 2008. Therefore, we do not find fault on the part of State. 4. It is mentioned in the application of the prisoner filed from jail that the prisoner cannot be deprived of legal aid just because the State has issued a Government Resolution stating new procedure to be adopted and the Court should entertain his application. However, the prisoner cannot decide his own rules and the same have to be regulated by the State. Writ Petition can be filed to enforce the existing rules and regulations and the prisoner cannot seek arbitrary enforcement of the earlier rules and regulations. 5. Therefore, petition stands dismissed. The prisoner be informed this order. (J.N.PATEL, J.) (A.A.SAYED, J.)
