Respondents S/Shri N.N. Gavankar i/b Arfan Sait for the Petitioner. Shri A.S. Gadkari, APP, for the State. CORAM: BILAL NAZKI & A.R. JOSHI, JJ. DATED: OCTOBER 6, 2009 P.C: The petitioner is serving life sentence and on various occasions he has been released on parole/furlough and has surrendered back in time. His wife has to undergo surgery and for this purpose he was granted one week's parole from 17-9-2009 to 24-9-2009 but as the surgery could not be performed during this period, he prayed for an extension. He was not informed whether the parole was extended or not. Therefore, he surrendered on 25-9-2009. 2 Now he prays for an extension of parole by two weeks so that he can get his wife operated upon. After hearing the learned APP, we allow this petition and direct that the petitioner be released on parole on usual terms and conditions for a period of two weeks, effective from the date of his release. All concerned to act on the authenticated copy of this order. (BILAL NAZKI, J.) (A.R. JOSHI, J.)
