IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO. 847 OF 2008 Dist.: PUNE Baban Sakharam More ...Petitioner Versus The State of Maharashtra & Ors. ... Respondents Mr. Vijay Hiremath for the Petitioner Mrs. A.S. Pai, Additional Public Prosecutor, for the Respondents. CORAM: B ILAL NAZKI and V.M. KANADE, JJ. DATE: APRIL 28, 2008 P. C.:- The petitioner seeks parole on the ground that his son is getting married tomorrow. 2. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor submits that this Court has already held that the marriage of a member of the family of a prisoner cannot be a reason for granting furlough or parole. However, this Court has granted temporary bail to the convicted prisoners in cases of marriages of members of their family. She has further submitted that since the appeal of the petitioner was rejected by the Aurangabad Bench of this Court, therefore, the petitioner should have approached the Aurangabad Bench. 3. Without going into such controversy, at this stage, because the marriage of the son of the prisoner is taking place tomorrow, which is not disputed, therefore, we entertain this petition, and grant temporary bail for one week to the prisoner in custody, under police escort. The prisoner shall bear the expenses of the police escort, and surrender immediately after one week. The petition is accordingly allowed. 4. An authenticated copy of the order be given to the petitioner's advocate today. BILAL NAZKI, J. V.M. KANADE, J.
