CORAM : A.P. LAVANDE & P.D. KODE, JJ. DATE : JUNE 21, 2010. Heard Ms. P.D. Rane, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mrs. K.S. Joshi, learned APP for the respondents. By this petition, the petitioner, who is undergoing sentence of imprisonment for a period of 52 years and payment of fine of Rs.10,000/-, seeks direction against the respondents that he be permitted to visit his ailing father at Mumbai, who has been admitted to V.N. Desai General Hospital, Mumbai, under police squad. The petitioner was involved in the Railway Bomb Blast at Mumbai in the year 1998 and he has been convicted for the offences punishable under 2 Sections 120-B, 302, 304, 307, 324, 326, 435 of the Indian Penal Code, under section 150(2) and 151 of the Indian Railways Act, 1989 and Section 4 of the Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act. Since the petitioner is seeking to visit his ailing father at Mumbai, appropriate remedy the petitioner has to resort would be to ask for parole under the provisions of The Prison (Bombay Furlough and Parole) Rule, 1959. Since the effective remedy is available to the petitioner under the statute, we are not inclined to exercise our extra-ordinary jurisdiction. Hence, the petition is dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to avail appropriate remedy, as may be available in law. Fees of the learned counsel appointed on behalf of the petitioner, are quantified at Rs.750/-. JUDGE JUDGE Gulande
