Versus State of Maharashtra and others. ..Respondents. .......................... Ms.Farhana Shah, Advocate for the Petitioner. Mrs.A.S. Pai, A.P.P., for the Respondents – State. .......................... CORAM : BILAL NAZKI AND A.R. JOSHI, JJ. DATE : 28TH AUGUST, 2009. P.C. :- 1. Counter affidavit has been filed and we have heard the learned Counsel for the parties. 2. The petitioner applied for furlough. The said application was allowed on a condition of furnishing surety. The prisoner offered the surety of his wife, but, his wife was not able to produce any document pertaining to any property. Therefore, she was asked cash in the sum of Rs.8000/- and a personal bond of Rs.8000/-. There appears some misunderstanding. Personal bond has not to be in cash; whereas the surety amount has to be in cash. Since the petitioner is not in a position to produce any other surety, therefore, we find no difficulty in accepting that the cash surety be furnished. 1.wp.1939-09 2 3. The Petition is accordingly disposed of directing the respondents to release the petitioner on his personal bond of Rs.8000/- and cash surety of Rs.8000/-. The petitioner had earlier also been released under similar arrangement and he had returned back. 4. The parties concerned to act upon an authenticated copy of this order.
