IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO. 18 OF 2011 SHRI.SHER SINGH, PRESENTLY SERVING SENTENCE AT CENTRAL JAIL AGUADA,THRO' NEXT FRIEND MR.SANDEEP NAI ... Petitioner Versus STATE OF GOA THROUGH CHIEF SECRETARY AND 2 ORS., ... Respondents Ms. Asha A. Desai, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. C. A. Fereira, Public Prosecutor for the State-Respondents. Coram:- S. C. DHARMADHIKARI & F. M. REIS, JJ. Date:- 28th March, 2011 P.C.:- Heard learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner and learned Public Prosecutor appearing for the State. 2. The prisoner-petitioner sought to produce one surety Shri Sandeep Ghanasham Naik and when the said surety furnished the bond, it was noticed by the Superintendent, Central Jail, Aguada that the amount arranged for by him was withdrawn from the Prisoners Private Property and Cash Account and it was that amount which was handed over to the said surety and according to the Superintendent, this would go contrary to the very concept of providing surety. 3. The apprehension that has been also expressed in the affidavit is that the local sureties are directed to be furnished because the prisoners who are ordinarily residents out of the State of Goa and to secure their presence is difficult because on release on parole the prisoners do not surrender, which cases have occurred, then the very purpose of imposing condition such as furnishing of local surety, is defeated. 4. After the matter was argued for sometime and when this aspect was brought to the notice of learned Counsel for the petitioner, she submitted that the said surety Shri Sandeep Naik is a local surety and he will provide proof of his employment with a local entity, so also the income that he generates from the said employer. To enable the said surety to do so, she prays for two weeks' time. 5. In our view, in the light of this statement made by the learned Advocate appearing for the petitioner, this petition need not be kept pending. Accordingly, it is directed that if the surety Shri Sandeep Ghanashm Naik furnishes the proof that is stipulated above within the time sought, the Superintendent, Central Jail, Agauda to consider the said request and thereafter, take appropriate steps so as to comply with the order of releasing the prisoner on parole. Needless to state that if the compliance is not made, then, the prisoner will not be entitled to the benefit of being released on parole. Petition is disposed of. S. C. DHARMADHIKARI, J. F. M.
