Heard Mr. Narwade, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Jichkar, learned A.P.P. for the respondents. The petitioner in this petition was sentenced to undergo imprisonment for life for the offences punishable under Sections 302, 307, 147, 148 and 149 of the Indian Penal Code. The punishment was subsequently reduced, in the appeal, to ten years for the offence punishable under Section 304(I) of the Indian Penal Code. His grievance is that although he has completed 65 years of age he has not been released from jail. Reply on behalf of the respondents, tendered in the Court today, is taken on record. The reply discloses that the petitioner, who was on furlough, was due for surrender on 15.01.2010, however, he had not surrendered till 06.07.2010 and is absconding. The reply further discloses that the petitioner has actually undergone imprisonment for 7 years, 8 months and 12 days till 30.06.2010. 2 In view of above factual position we are not inclined to exercise extraordinary jurisdiction in favour of the petitioner who is absconding. Hence, the petition is dismissed. Fees payable to Mr.K.S.Narwade, Advocate appointed to appear on behalf of the petitioner are quantified at Rs.seven hundred and fifty only. JUDGE JUDGE RR.
