CORAM:HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ILESH J. VORA
Date : 28/06/2022
ORAL ORDER
1. The applicant, who has been sentenced for ten years has filed present application through jail for releasing him on furlough leave as the competent authority has rejected his parole application by order dated 09.04.2022.
2. Record indicates that application of furlough leave has been rejected as there is negative police opinion and the reason for parole leave is not in consonance with the guidelines of parole.
4. It is settled law that the grant of furlough is not a right vested with the prisoner and is rather a privilege available to the prisoner on fulfilling certain conditions. This is a discretionary power which has to be exercised by the authorities conferred with such powers under the provisions of the Prisons (Bombay Furlough and Parole) Rules, 1959.
5. Having regard to the grounds mentioned in the application for furlough, jail remarks and reason for rejecting furlough leave by the authority, this Court does not find any infirmity with the order passed by the authority while rejecting the claim of the prisoner for grant of furlough. Consequently, the application deserves to be dismissed and same is accordingly dismissed.
