1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO.1679 OF 2009 Parvez @ Guddu Vastav Abdul Vahid Khan .... Petitioner Vs. The State of Maharashtra .... Respondent Through Jail Shri S.R. Shinde, APP, for the State. CORAM: BILAL NAZKI & A.R. JOSHI, JJ. DATED: OCTOBER 12, 2009 P.C: The petitioner moved an application for grant of parole in November, 2008 which was rejected on the ground that the police was of the view that the petitioner had a record of criminal activities and if he was to be released on parole, he may abscond. The learned APP has, however, admitted that the petitioner was granted furlough leave on 8-4-2009 and after availing the leave, the petitioner surrendered well in time. Therefore, the apprehension of the police was misplaced. The petition is allowed and the 2 respondents are directed to release the petitioner on parole on usual terms and conditions. With these observations, the petition is disposed of. (BILAL NAZKI, J.) (A.R. JOSHI, J.)
