1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR. Criminal Writ Petition No. 115 of 2009 [Raju @ Rajesh Ramkrishna Yelekar Vs. State of Mah. & another] Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Mr. Anup Parihar, APP for respondents. ----- CORAM : A.H. JOSHI AND A.B. CHAUDHARI, JJ. DATE : 25TH February, 2009. 1. This petition is received through Jail. 2. The petitioner's prayer for release on furlough has been rejected on the ground, namely on previous two occasions, he reported late by six days in 2006 and 53 days in 2007, after availing the furlough leave. 3. While considering the application for furlough, the Deputy Inspector General of Prisons is bound to consider the past record. 4. If reporting late is a matter of habit and recurrence, it would not be unjust to consider the same as a factor adverse to the prisoner. 5. In these premises, a similar prayer for release in less than a year's time appears to us to have been rightly rejected. 2 6. In the circumstances, no interference is called for in the impugned order. Petition is, therefore, rejected. 7. This decision be communicated to the prisoner through the Superintendent of Central Prison, Nagpur. 8. Steno copy of this order be supplied to learned APP free of cost, to act upon. Judge Judge |Hedau|
