1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO.2606 OF 2009 Vishnu Maruti Bule .... Petitioner Vs. The D.I.G. Prison, South Division, Mumbai & Ors. .... Respondents Shri Viresh V. Purwant for the Petitioner. Shri S.R. Shinde, APP, for the State. CORAM: BILAL NAZKI & A.R. JOSHI, JJ. DATED: OCTOBER 12, 2009 P.C: The petitioner applied for furlough leave. He is serving sentence of 10 years as he has been convicted under Section 307 of the IPC. He is in jail for last more than three years. His application for furlough leave has been rejected on two grounds. Firstly, it is contended that the police report is that the petitioner is serving life sentence, which is manifestly false. The second reason is that the father of the petitioner, who is the 2 proposed surety, has retired from service and will not be able to control the petitioner. We do not understand such a logic. There is no question of controlling the person for whom a person stands surety. The reason itself is absurd. In the circumstances, the writ petition is allowed and the respondents are directed to accept the surety offered by the father of the petitioner and release the petitioner on usual terms and conditions. With these observations, the petition is disposed of. (BILAL NAZKI, J.) (A.R. JOSHI, J.)
