1. Rule. Rule returnable forthwith. Heard finally by consent of the parties.
2. Since the application for furlough filed by the petitioner is rejected by the authorities, the petitioner is before this Court.

4. In that view of the matter, the writ petition is allowed. The petitioner be released on furlough after getting necessary bond executed from him within a period of three weeks.
Rule is made absolute in the above terms. (V. M. Deshpande, J.) (B. P. Dharmadhikari, J.) kahale ::: Uploaded on - 25/04/2017 ::: Downloaded on - 26/04/2017 00:43:46 :::
