1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRI. WRIT PETITION NO. 2223 OF 2009 Baba Tukaram Gaikwad ...Petitioner Versus The Divisional Commissioner, Pune, & Ors. ...Respondents Mrs. Indrayani M. Koparkar for the Petitioner Mr. K.V. Saste, Additional Public Prosecutor, for the State. CORAM: B ILAL NAZKI and A.R. JOSHI, JJ. DATE: OCTOBER 5, 2009 P.C.:- The petitioner was granted furlough in January, 2009, and he surrendered well in time. Thereafter, when he applied for parole, it has been rejected on three grounds. That the furlough was granted for the purpose of getting treatment to his mother and for the same purpose, the present application has been made. The second ground is that the police report is adverse. Thirdly, it 2 is stated that his father, who wants to stand surety, is old and cannot control the petitioner. 2. We find all the reasons absurd, because in the first instance, when the petitioner was granted furlough, he did not create any problems for anybody, including the witnesses who had appeared against him. For a surety, it is not necessary that he should be physically strong to control a person. 3. Counter has been filed. 4. We, therefore, allow this petition, and direct that the petitioner be released on usual terms and conditions, and pass appropriate orders within one week. BILAL NAZKI, J. A.R. JOSHI, J.
