Petitioner Versus The State of Maharashtra & Ors. ... Respondents Through jail Mr. A.S. Gadkari, Additional Public Prosecutor, for the State. CORAM: B ILAL NAZKI and A.R. JOSHI, JJ. DATE: FEBRUARY 27, 2009 P.C.:- The petitioner's application for furlough has been rejected on the ground that when he was released on bail in May, 2006, he overstayed by 12 days, did not surrender, but was arrested. For overstaying for 12 days, he has already been punished by giving the remission by 24 days. 2. In our view, therefore, that should not have weighed with the respondents in not granting furlough again to him after more than two years. Some stringent conditions could have been imposed. 2 3. Therefore, we allow the petition, set side the order impugned, and direct that furlough be granted to the petitioner. In addition to the usual conditions, he shall be directed to report to the nearest police station every day. BILAL NAZKI, J. A.R. JOSHI, J.
