1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO. 1180 OF 2008 Subhash Dnyaneshwar Salve. ...... ..... Petitioner. Versus The State of Maharashtra & Ors... ..... ..... Respondents. None for the Petitioner. Mrs. A. S. Pai, APP for the State. CORAM : BILAL NAZKI and A. A. KUMBHAKONI, JJ. DATED : 18TH JULY, 2008. P.C.: The petitioner is aggrieved of deduction of 5 days of remission as he had overstayed furlough leave by 1 day. 2. Initially he was granted 14 days furlough, which was extended by another 14 days. According to the Rules, the respondents could extend the furlough leave to the maximum of 14 days. Therefore, considering the one day delay as part of furlough was not possible in terms of the Rules. The punishment of deduction of remission by 5 days, which is maximum, is justified by the respondents on the ground that on earlier two occasions also the petitioner had overstayed for a period of 60 days and 62 days 2 respectively. 3. In these circumstances, we do not find that the order of reducing the remission by 5 days is arbitrary. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. Sd/- (BILAL NAZKI, J.) Sd/- (A.A.KUMBHAKONI, J.)
