Heard the learned advocate for the Petitioner and the learned APP for the State. 2. The Petitioner is seeking extension of furlough leave. The Petitioner had preferred application for furlough which was allowed and furlough leave came to be granted to the Petitioner from 15th February, 2008 to 1st March, 2008. As the sister of the Petitioner was not keeping good health, the Petitioner preferred application for extension of furlough and the competent authority extended the -2- furlough leave granted to the Petitioner till 14th March, 2008. The learned advocate for the Petitioner states that there is a cyst in the ovary of the sister of the Petitioner. The report of the cyst shows that the sister of the Petitioner is suffering from cancer of the ovary which is in the second stage, hence it is necessary to operate her for the same. The Petitioner has prayed that the furlough leave granted to the Petitioner may be extended on the ground stated above. 3. It is seen that furlough leave granted to the Petitioner earlier has already been extended from 1st March, 2008 to 14th March, 2008. Looking to the above, as a last chance, we grant extension of the said furlough leave by a further period of 15 days. 4. Writ petition is disposed of.
