1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICMTURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR. Cri. Application No. 3531 of 2008 Atik v. The DIG (Prisons) & anr ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Office notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Court's or Judge's Orders. Mr N.A. Badar, Adv for applicant. Mr S.Y. Deopujari, APP for respondents. Coram : D.D. Sinha and A.P. Bhangale, JJ Dated : 6th October 2008 1. Heard Mr N.A. Badar, learned counsel for applicant and Mr S.Y. Deopujari, learned Addl. Public Prosecutor for respondents. Criminal Application No. 3531 of 2008 is moved by the applicant for extension of period of furlough leave which is going to expire on 12th October 2008. 2. Considered the contentions canvassed by the respective counsel. Perused the certificate of doctor. The prayer for extension of period of furlough leave is based on the certificate dated 30.9.2008 issued by Dr M. Anees regarding ill health of the mother of applicant/petitioner. Learned Addl. Public Prosecutor 2 has brought to our notice the inherent inconsistency in the said medical certificate. It is contended that in the said certificate, it is mentioned that the mother of petitioner was advised complete bed rest for 20 days from 30.8.2008 till 19.9.2008 whereas the date of issuance of the certificate is 30.9.2008. It is contended that discrepancy in the dates creates doubt about the genuineness of the said medical certificate and, therefore, prayer of the petitioner may kindly be rejected. 3. In view of the inherent inconsistency in the medical certificate produced by the petitioner, it is difficult to place reliance on the said medical certificate. Consequently, no case is made out for showing indulgence. Criminal Application is dismissed. Judge. Judge. hsjoshi
