He is presently undergoing imprisonment at Thane Central Prison. On l7-3-2009, the prison authorities released the petitioner on furlough leave. The petitioner was to surrender on 1-4-2009. The petitioner applied for extension of leave to the prison authorities. Accordingly the prison authorities extended the leave because the petitioner was to be operated upon. It appears that the petitioner was admitted in Hospital from 2 3.4.2009 for Right Haematocele with Diabetes Mellitus and underwent surgery Bilateral Hydrocele repair with testicular fixation with Sac excision under spinal anaesthesia on 4.4.2009. 2. Now the Petitioner has to surrender on 15.4.2009. The present petition is filed praying that furlough leave may be further extended. Mr. Patil. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is suffering from diabetes and hence it is necessary to provide him special diet. We also heard learned APP. 3. In our opinion, since the operation is already performed, furlough leave cannot be extended. It was extended once. If any special diet is required, upon his making application, the prison authorities should make it available to the petitioner. The prison authorities should ensure that all post operative care is made available to the petitioner. We direct the prison authorities to get the petitioner examined from the prison doctor and if necessary keep him in the prison hospital for post operative care as per the doctor's advise. 4. The Petition is rejected. 3 (SMT RANJANA DESAI,J) (R.G. KETKAR, J)
