Heard Ms Preeti Rane, learned counsel for petitioner and Mr A.S. Sonare, learned Addl. Public Prosecutor for respondents. 2. This criminal writ petition is directed against the order dated 16.8.2008 passed by the D.I.G. (Prisons), Nagpur whereby application of the petitioner for grant of furlough leave came to be rejected for want of competent surety in view of the provisions of rule 6 of the Prisons (Bombay Furlough and Parole) Rules, 1959. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is ready and willing to furnish competent surety. 2 Learned Addl. Public Prosecutor states that if the petitioner is ready to furnish valid and competent surety, in that case, request of the petitioner for grant of furlough leave would be reconsidered. 4. In the back-drop of the above-referred fact, if the petitioner is ready and willing to furnish valid and competent surety, we direct the Jail Authorities to reconsider the case of the petitioner for grant of furlough leave afresh in accordance with law. It is made clear that the impugned order dated 16.8.2008 shall not come in the way for reconsideration of the request of the petitioner provided petitioner furnishes valid and competent surety. Petition is disposed of accordingly. Judge. Judge. hsjoshi
