CORAM : BILAL NAZKI AND A.R. JOSHI, JJ. DATE : 18TH AUGUST, 2009. P.C. :- 1. The petitioner applied for furlough which has been rejected on the ground that in 2007 when the petitioner was granted furlough he surrendered late by 192 days. The petitioner is in jail for last about 12 years. We feel that the petitioner has been in jail for about 12 years and on last occasion when he overstayed furlough he surrendered on his own, therefore, his case for furlough should have been considered favourably. In these circumstances, we direct that he be released on furlough subject to conditions which may be imposed if any. 2. Criminal Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. 3. Office to communicate this order to the Jail Authorities. [BILAL NAZKI,J.] [A.R.JOSHI,J.]
