1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICMTURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR. Criminal Writ Petition No. 569 of 2008 Sanjaysingh v. The State of Maharashtra and anr ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Office notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Court's or Judge's Orders. Ms Meghna Munshi, Adv for petitioner. Mr S.J. Jichkar, APP for respondents. Coram : D.D. Sinha and A.P. Bhangale, JJ Dated : 16th October 2008 1. Heard Ms Meghna Munshi, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr S.J. Jichkar, learned Addl. Public Prosecutor for respondents. 2. In the instant case, the petitioner has made application for grant of furlough leave. However, the grievance of the petitioner is that the petitioner is not released on furlough leave though in law he is entitled. Learned APP has brought to our notice that the Competent Authority has already passed an order dated 15.9.2008 granting furlough leave to the petitioner subject to furnishing necessary surety required in law. It is contended 2 that Jailor of Amravati Prison has already requested Tahsildar, Washim to verify and accept surety furnished by the petitioner and send necessary report in this regard. It is contended that on receipt of surety bond from the office of Tahsildar, petitioner shall be released on furlough forthwith after following the procedure applicable in this regard. 3. In the backdrop of the above-referred facts, it is evident that the order of release of the petitioner on furlough leave is already passed by the Competent Authority and petitioner will be released on receipt of surety bond. Hence, in our view, cause of action no more survives and, therefore, the petition is disposed of. However, we want the respondent to expedite the process. Judge. Judge. hsjoshi
