1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO. 859 OF 2008 Dist.: MUMBAI Kailash Vishnu Vidhate ...Petitioner Versus Divisional Commissioner & Ors. ... Respondents Mr. Pankaj Kavle for the Petitioner Mr. P.H. Kantharia, Additional Public Prosecutor, for the State. CORAM: B ILAL NAZKI and A.P. BHANGALE, JJ. DATE: MAY 6, 2008 P. C.:- The petitioner is undergoing life imprisonment and is in jail for the last 16 years. He applied for parole leave on the ground that he was suffering from H.I.V., and would like to get treatment outside the jail. The application has been rejected, as, according to the respondents, if he comes out of the jail, he may cause harm to the family members of the complainant, on whose complaint he had been convicted. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that on an earlier occasion also, he was released on parole, and he lived in his own 2 village, but no harm was caused to anybody. Therefore, there is no apprehension that if the petitioner is released on parole leave, he will cause harm to anybody, particularly when he is sick and suffering from H.I.V. 2. In the circumstances, we allow this petition, and direct that the petitioner be released on parole leave for a period of two weeks on two sureties in the amount of Rs.10,000/- and a personal bond in equal amount, subject to the satisfaction of the Superintendent of the jail. The petitioner shall also give his address, where he will be available during the parole leave, to the Superintendent of Jail. BILAL NAZKI, J. A.P. BHANGALE, J.
