The petitioner has approached to this Court for extension of furlough leave for a period of 14 days. He was granted furlough by respondent no.3 from 1st November 2006 till 14th November 2006, and thereafter he has made a request that his furlough be extended for a :2: :2: :2: period of 14 days. He has stated that his father is alone and old, therefore, for a further period of 14 days he be allowed to remain in association of his father. It is further brought to the notice of this court that mother of the petitioner expired on 23rd June 2006, however, on that occasion the petitioner had not availed of either furlough or parole for performing the last rites of mother. He was granted furlough on 1.11.2006 as stated above. Not only that as a law abiding citizen, he made an application for extension of furlough on the ground of illness of his father. Apart from that, in order to test his bonafides we directed him to surrender first then we will consider his request for further furlough. Accordingly, the petitioner has surrendered before the respondent. Taking an overall view of the matter, we are inclined to grant a further furlough for a period of 14 days to the petitioner on the same terms and conditions on which he was earlier granted furlough. However, the Authorities may obtain fresh bonds and impose usual conditions on the petitioner. The 14 days period of furlough shall be calculated from the actual date of release of the petitioner from the jail. It is made clear that this order shall not be treated as a precedent. Petition is accordingly disposed of. Rule is made absolute. :3: :3: :3: (S.R.SATHE,J.) (S.R.SATHE,J.) (S.R.SATHE,J.) (S.B.MHASE, J.) (S.B.MHASE, J.) (S.B.MHASE, J.) :sac/2006/sathe/
