the life of the complainant and other witnesses who reside at Dehu Road, Pune.

¶22

The petitioner, while on furlough will be residing at Ambernath, which is far away from Dehu Road, Pune. In addition we find that there is no any objective material to come to the conclusion that if the petitioner is released on bail, the petitioner will abscond or there will be danger to the life of the witnesses. No enquiry has been made with the complainant or any other witnesses in this regard. The police report clearly states that the surety i.e. Shanmugam Rangaswami, which has been furnished by the petitioner, is found to be competent surety. In addition, it is seen that the conduct of the petitioner in jail is satisfactory.

¶23

In view of the above, we are inclined to grant furlough to the

petitioner. The petitioner be released on furlough on usual terms and conditions

¶25

Rule is made absolute in above terms.
