5 The petitioner has relied on two decisions of this Court to contend that a convict can be released on P.R. bond or on cash surety. The said decisions are in Criminal Writ Petition No. 2515 of 2004 dated 7.3.2006 in the case of Ramnath Rambachan Gupta Vs. State of Maharashtra and the decision of a Single Judge of this Court in the case of Dipak s/o Hari Kivkalwar Vs. State of Maharashtra reported in 2003 All MR (Cri.) 1010. In the first decision, the convict was released on P.R. bond of Rs.5000/-. In the second decision, as no person was willing to stand surety for the prisoner, the prisoner was released on furnishing security of Rs.2000/- which was lying at his credit in his account in the jail. In the case of Dipak (supra) , reliance was placed on a decision of the High Court of Gujarat in the case of Natia Jiria Vs. State of Gujarat reported in 1994 Cri. L.J. 936 . However, a similar decision of this Court wherein the prisoner was released on cash deposit of the amount lying in his credit in the account in jail, was challenged before the Supreme Court in the case of State of Maharashtra
