This petition is through jail. Grievance is made that the Petitioner was ordinarily resident of State of Gujrat. For that reason, he is not in a position to furnish local surety. Learned APP has invited our attention to the Government Circular dated 16th December, 2008. As per clause 3(6), the convict has to furnish local surety. At the same time, clause (5) would allow furnishing of surety residing outside State of Maharashtra but the said surety will have to comply with all the formalities of producing property 2 wp1610 record and such other documents before the Superintendent of the concerned jail. The Petitioner, if so desires, may avail of that option. No further direction is warranted in this petition. Petition disposed of accordingly. 3. Court expresses word of gratitude for the able assistance given by the learned amicus curiae. 4. Copy of the order be forwarded to the Petitioner, who is in jail forthwith.
