1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO. 2573 OF 2008 Shaikh Nisar Shaikh Dadamiya. ..... ..... Petitioner. Versus The State of Maharashtra. ..... ..... Respondent. Mr. Dinkar Patil, Advocate appointed for the Petitioner. Mrs. P. H. Kantharia, APP for the Respondent. CORAM : BILAL NAZKI and ANOOP V. MOHTA, JJ. DATED : 17TH JANUARY, 2009. P.C.: The petitioner filed an application seeking parole for 30 days as his wife was not well. He annexed a certificate of Medical Officer, who states that his wife was suffering from Diabetes Malcitus i.e. Nepropathy i.e. Acute Renal Failure. The application for parole was rejected on the ground that particulars of treatment to be given to the wife were not mentioned. This is a highly technical objection taken since the doctor has certified that the wife was ill and had acute renal failure. It was quite possible that she would need the attention of her husband, who is in jail. We have also noticed that the medical certificate issued by the Medical Officer is dated 1st April, 2008, but the application by the petitioner was moved on 12th May, 2008 and it was 2 only decided after three months in August, 2008. When parole or furlough are requested for the purpose of attending to an ailing family members such applications should be decided immediately. 2. For the reasons given above, we direct that the petitioner be granted parole for a period of 15 (fifteen) days subject to the conditions to be imposed upon by the Jail Authority. 3. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. Sd/- (BILAL NAZKI, J.) Sd/- (ANOOP V. MOHTA, J.)
