1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR Criminal Writ Petition No. 564 of 2011 [Nitin Shankar Gowardhan Vs. State of Mah. & two others] Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Ms. Archana Ramteke, Adv., for the petitioner. Mrs. N.R. Tripathy, APP for respondents. ----- CORAM : P.V. HARDAS AND P.B. VARALE, JJ. DATE : 18th November, 2011. 1. This is a petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India filed by the petitioner, who is undergoing a sentence of imprisonment for seven years for offences punishable under Sections 376, 366, 363 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code, taking exception to an order dated 24th August, 2011 passed by the respondents rejecting his application for release on furlough. 2. It appears that the application made by the petitioner came to be rejected by the respondents on the ground that the petitioner, when released earlier on parole and/or on furlough, was late in surrendering to Jail, and when he was last released, the petitioner had committed offences, which are registered against 2 him, principally under Section 324 of Indian Penal Code. The respondents accordingly rejected the application. 3. We have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned APP for respondents. We have also perused the order impugned in the present petition. 4. Undisputedly, three offences came to be registered against the petitioner during the period he was released either on parole or on furlough. In the light of the fact that the petitioner had committed offences when he had been released by the Jail Authorities, according to us, no fault can be found with the impugned order rejecting his application. 5. In the light of this, therefore, we do not find any merit in the present petition and this petition is, therefore, summarily dismissed with no order as to costs. Judge Judge |Hedau|
