The State of Maharashtra & anr. ..Respondents Mr. N.N. Gavankar a/w. Arfan Sait for the petitioner. Mrs. A.S. Pai-APP for respondents 1 and 2. CORAM:- A.M.KHANWILKAR & A.A. SAYED, JJ 13th September, 2011. P.C. This petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India is filed for issuance of writ against the respondents directing the respondent no.2 to restore the forfeited remission on the remission register of the petitioner. However, on the previous occasion learned APP brought to our notice that the petitioner has overstayed the furlough leave period. Unless the petitioner surrenders before the jail authorities, the question of entertaining this petition does not arise. The Court will not come to the aid of a fugitive life convict, who has overstayed the furlough period. Today once again it is brought to our notice by the learned APP that the petitioner has still not surrendered in jail. Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that he has no instructions. 2 wp1966.11.sxw 2. As a result, the petition is dismissed for non-prosecution. However, papers of this petition be placed alongwith Suo Moto Petition No. 3/2005 on 16th September, 2011 where the issue of missing/absconding convicts/accused is being examined. (A.A.
