1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO. 2574 OF 2008 Prashant Suresh Khade. ..... ..... Petitioner. Versus The State of Maharashtra. ..... ..... Respondent. Mr. M. V. Kasle, Advocate appointed for the Petitioner. Mrs. P. H. Kantharia, APP for the Respondent. CORAM : BILAL NAZKI and ANOOP V. MOHTA, JJ. DATED : 17TH JANUARY, 2009. P.C.: The petitioner applied for parole on the ground that his mother is to be operated for her ailment and she has to undergo by-pass surgery. The application has been rejected on the ground that the details of the surgery are not furnished. Obviously, the details of surgery are to be worked out once the petitioner is out of the jail and the date of surgery could be fixed. Learned Public Prosecutor states that habitually the petitioner has over-stayed whenever he was granted the parole / furlough on the earlier occasions. 2. We have seen the records and the record is not something for which the prisoner can be proud of. However, in the interest of justice as the mother of the prisoner is under going surgery, we allow the writ petition and 2 direct that the petitioner be granted parole for a period of 15 (fifteen) days subject to the conditions to be imposed upon by the Jail Authority so that he looks after his mother. 3. It is also made clear that the petitioner if over stays the period of parole leave, the respondent shall be directed not to consider his application for parole / furlough in future. 4. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. Sd/- (BILAL NAZKI, J.) Sd/- (ANOOP V. MOHTA, J.)
