((-1-)) mst IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO.1965 OF 2008 Zamir Sayed Ismail Kadri Petitioner versus The State of Mahrashtra & ors. Respondents Mrs.Aisha Zubair Ansari for petitioner. Ms.A.S.Pai, APP. CORAM : BILAL NAZKI AND A.A.KUMBHAKONI, JJ. DATE : 26th September 2008 PC : 1. The petitioner is undergoing life imprisonment. His application for grant of furlough leave has been rejected by the respondents on various grounds. 2. We have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP. The petitioner during the course of trial was on bail from 13th March 1999 till 9th November 2006 when he was convicted. 3. An appeal was filed in the Supreme Court and Supreme Court initially granted bail vide ((-2-)) order dated 14th October 2007 as the copy of the judgement of conviction was not available. After the copies of judgement was made available, the Supreme Court cancelled the bail granted to the petitioner and he surrendered in pursuance of the order of Supreme Court on 25th October 2007 and from that date he is in custody. 4. One of the reason given in the order of rejection is that since the petitioner was involved in Bombay Blast case and if he is released there is likelihood of creation of law and order problem. This argument is too far fetched because the accused has remained eleven years continuously on bail and during those eleven years nothing had happened. 5. Therefore, we set aside the impugned order and direct the petitioner be released on parole on usual terms and conditions to be imposed by the concerned authorities. Petition disposed off.
