1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR. CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO. 476 OF 2009 (Mahesh Gangadhar Sarode .v. State of Maharashtra and another) Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's or Judge's Orders and Registrar's orders. CORAM : D.D. SINHA AND PRASANNA B. VARALE, JJ. 22ND SEPTEMBER, 2009. Heard Shri B.M. Waranashiwar, the learned Counsel for the petitioner and Shri A.S. Fulzele, the learned APP for the respondent/State. The present writ petition is directed against the order dated 25th June, 2009 whereby the competent authority has rejected the application of the petitioner for grant of furlough on the ground that the surety furnished by the petitioner is incompetent in law to stand surety for the petitioner since the same does not have either movable or immovable property in his name. Similarly, the release of the petitioner would cause danger to the lives of the witnesses those who have deposed against the petitioner . We have considered the rival contentions canvassed by the respective parties. It is not in dispute that the father of the petitioner who is ready and willing to stand surety does not have any movable or immovable property in his name. In this view of the matter, the view expressed by the competent authority appears to be just and proper. However, it is open for the petitioner to furnish fresh valid surety and it will be open for the competent 2 authority to re-consider the request of the petitioner afresh in accordance with law. With these observations, the writ petition stands disposed of. JUDGE JUDGE *rrg.
