The Court opined that the furlough was granted to a convict undergoing long term imprisonment where gruesome crimes had been committed and depriving furlough to a convict, who was undergoing long term imprisonment would be counterproductive to reformative approach and would also take away the motivation to maintain good conduct inside the jail. Thus, the Court held that the petitioner should be released on furlough for a period of two weeks from the date of his release on furnishing a personal bond of Rs. 10,000.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Background<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">In an instant case, the petitioner was convicted under Sections <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001561607\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">302<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001561485\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">201<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001561682\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">363<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001561697\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">372(2)(f)<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726960\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Penal Code, 1860<\/a> (&#8216;IPC&#8217;) for committing rape and murder of a minor. Thereafter, the petitioner was awarded death sentence along with fine. The petitioner, then filed an appeal and the Division Bench of this Court ordered re-trial of the case. However, in the re-trial of the case, the petitioner was once again convicted and was awarded life imprisonment with no remission for a period of twenty-five years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The petitioner filed an application dated 13-09-2022 for the grant of furlough, which was rejected vide impugned order dated 28-10-2022.

The Court opined that in the present case, it was undisputed that the petitioner was convicted of a gruesome offence of committing rape and murder of minor and for that the petitioner was awarded life imprisonment without remission for a period of twenty-five years along with fine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court opined that only on the basis that the convict had committed a gruesome crime many years ago, it could not be said that his temporary release on furlough would be against the interest of the society. It could not be presumed that the said convict would again commit a similar crime or create law and order problem in the society. There was no contradicting that the furlough was granted to convicts who had committed gruesome crimes and were undergoing long term imprisonment. The Court opined that depriving furlough to a convict, who was undergoing long term imprisonment would be counterproductive to reformative approach and would also take away the motivation to maintain good conduct inside the jail.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court opined that the total period of the petitioner&#8217;s incarceration was around twelve years, and a perusal of the nominal roll would show that the petitioner&#8217;s conduct in jail was satisfactory, and no other case was pending against the petitioner. Thus, the Court granted furlough to the petitioner and directed the petitioner to furnish the fresh address to the respondent within fifteen days, which should be verified by the respondent within fifteen days thereafter. Further, subject to the verification of the petitioner&#8217;s address, the petitioner should be released on furlough for a period of two weeks from the date of his release on furnishing a personal bond of Rs. 10,000 with two sureties in the like amount to the satisfaction of the concerned Jail Superintendent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court stated that the petitioner should not leave the NCT of Delhi without prior permission of the Court and should reside at the given address and should also provide his mobile number to the concerned Jail Superintendent and concerned Station House Officer (&#8216;SHO&#8217;) at the time of release, which should be kept in working condition at all times. Further, the Court stated that the petitioner should appear before the SHO, Police Station every third day between 11:00 AM to 11:30 AM to mark his presence and he should not be kept waiting for longer than an hour for this purpose. Further, the petitioner should positively surrender before the concerned Jail Superintendent on the expiry period of two weeks from the date of his release.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Sanjay Kumar Valmiki v.
