IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY VPH CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION No. 1376 OF 2008 Ganpat Pandurant Sakpal Petitioner (Through Jail) Vs. The State of Maharashtra & Ors. Respondent Mr. A. S. Gadkari, APP for the respondent. CORAM : BILAL NAZKI, & A. A. KUMBHKONI, JJ. DATE : JULY 29, 2008. 1. The petitioner had overstayed 69 days after he was released on furlough. Even he did not surrender, but he was arrested in some other case and then sent to the Jail to serve the sentence. The Jail Authorities awarded punishment of 5 days for each day’s overstay from the remission, which was also confirmed. In the facts and circumstances of the case, we feel that 5 days cut in the remission which is maximum, is unfair. Therefore, we reduce it to 4 days for each day’s overstay, which would also mean deduction of 276 days from the remission. Accordingly, we order deduction of 276 days from the remission of the petitioner. Petition is accordingly disposed of. Sd/- [ BILAL NAZKI, J.] Sd/- [ A. A. KUMBHAKONI, J.]
