((-1-)) mst IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO.1071 OF 2008 Indrajit Kaur @ Choti Jagatdan Singh Rathod Petitioner versus The State of Maharashtra & ors. Respondents Mrs.Rohini Dandekar through jail. Mr.A.S.Gadkari, APP. CORAM : BILAL NAZKI AND A.A.KUMBHAKONI, JJ. DATE : 27th August 2008 PC : 1. An application for furlough of the petitioner was rejected by the respondents on the following three grounds :- (i) that the petitioner has no close relatives; (ii) that the children of the petitioner are not ready and willing to remain a surety, and (iii) that the petitioner hails from Village Nurkur, Taluka Akali Road, District Bijnor, Uttar Pradesh, and she is likely to abscond if she is released. 2. On the last occasion we had asked the ((-2-)) respondents to produce the file on the basis of which conclusions were drawn. 3. We have seen the file. There is nothing to show that the applicant belongs to Uttar Pradesh. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is born, brought up and married in the district of Osmanabad of Maharashtra State and even if she is released on furlough leave, she will not go any where except to Bhivandi and/or Ambarnath and she will not go to Uttar Pradesh as she has no connection at Uttar Pradesh at all. 4. The petitioner is undergoing life imprisonment for the last eleven years and has not availed of any leave of any kind for all these eleven years. It is stated that initially she wanted to go to see the husband of her cousin who has already died. We feel that this is a fit case where the petitioner ought to be released on furlough leave/parole but because of the casual and mechanical approach of the respondents much time has already been lost. 5. In this view of the matter we direct that ((-3-)) the petitioner be released on furlough leave for a period of two weeks on terms and conditions to be imposed by the respondents. She shall be specifically directed to appear on alternate days before the Police Station at Bhivandi/Ambarnath or wherever she will be staying. Petition disposed off accordingly. (BILAL NAZKI, J.)
