Patil for the Petitioner Mr. Rajesh More, Additional Public Prosecutor, for the State. CORAM: B ILAL NAZKI and A.R. JOSHI, JJ. DATE: OCTOBER 16, 2009 P.C.:- The petitioner, along with his brother, had been convicted for the same offence. The brother had been released on furlough leave. The petitioner is entitled to be released on furlough leave; but it has been rejected on the ground that the police was of the view that if he is released, he would create problems for the witnesses who had appeared against him during 2 the trial. We do not think that there was any basis for such conclusion. 2. Therefore, the Writ Petition is allowed, and the respondents are directed to release the petitioner on furlough on usual terms and conditions. BILAL NAZKI, J. A.R. JOSHI, J.
