Police Patil, Sarpanch or Gram Sevak who will execute bond in the sum of Rs.5000/-. The prayer of the petitioner is that he should be released on furnishing ordinary surety.

¶20

The learned APP pointed out that the petitioner wants to spend the furlough period in the State of Rajasthan and in view of the circular dated 24.8.2012, if the prisoner wants to spend his furlough period out of the State, then he should produce one surety who is Police Patil or Sarpanch or any other respectable person from the village. However, we find that the petitioner has been asked to furnish surety of Teacher, Police Patil, Sarpanch or Gramsevak only. The circular clearly states that surety of any respectable person from the village can also be furnished. In this view of the matter, the condition in the order granting furlough to the petitioner on furnishing surety of any Teacher, Police Patil, Sarpanch or Gramsevak is set aside and the petitioner be released on furlough on the petitioner furnishing surety of any respectable person from the village. He shall be released on usual terms and conditions as set out by the jail authorities.
