Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. The petitioner has impugned the order dated 22.9.2009 passed by the Competent Authority rejecting his application for furlough leave. Counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner’s application has been rejected solely on the ground that there are several cases pending against him and if he is released on furlough leave there is a danger to the life of complainant and witnesses in the case in which he was convicted. Counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is prepared to stay away from the locality of which the complainant and the witnesses are residents and he is also prepared to furnish two sureties. He further submits that the petitioner is also prepared to attend nearest police station from his residence. In view of the submission made by learned S 2 counsel for the petitioner we are satisfied that the following order shall meet the ends of justice: The concerned authority shall consider the petitioner’s application afresh in the light of submissions advanced by learned counsel for the petitioner and pass appropriate order as expeditiously as possible and preferably within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of this order. It is open to the concerned authority to call for report from the concerned police stations. With these observation the petition is disposed of. (A.R.JOSHI,J.) (D.B.BHOSALE,J.)
