\n

Gujarat High Court:<\/span> In a petition filed under Articles 21<\/a> and 226<\/a> of the Constitution<\/a> by Narayan Sai, son of Asaram Bapu who had been convicted for inter alia rape, unnatural offences, outraging modesty, and criminal intimidation, challenging the rejection of his furlough leave application by the Inspector General of Prison (‘IGP’), a Single Judge Bench of M. R. Mengdey, J., rejected the petition holding that the conduct of him and his disciples indicated that his release on furlough leave could be detrimental to the law and order situation at large, and there was a possibility of an untoward incident happening.<\/p>\n

Background<\/h3>\n

Narayan Sai, son of Asaram Bapu, was involved in religious activities and had a huge following. He was arrested in 2013 and subsequently convicted under Sections 376(2)(c)<\/a>, 377<\/a>, 354<\/a>, 504<\/a>, 506(2)<\/a>, 508<\/a> and 323<\/a> of the Penal Code, 1860<\/a> (‘IPC’), with a life imprisonment sentence.<\/p>\n

Analysis<\/h3>\n

The Court noted that the record indicated that after Narayan’s arrest, several offences were registered against his disciples for threatening or assaulting the witnesses. The record also indicated that Narayan attempted to approach government officials and tried to bribe them. Noting this, the Court stated that such conduct of Narayan and his disciples indicated that his release on furlough leave could be detrimental to the law-and-order situation at large, and there was a possibility of an untoward incident happening due to his release. Moreover, the Court noted that the jail remarks indicated that Narayan’s conduct in jail was not good and he had been given several jail punishments for the same.<\/p>\n

Thus, the Court held that in view of the provisions of Section 4(4) and 4(5) of the Bombay Furlough and Parole Rules, the furlough leave application appeared to have been rightly dismissed by the competent authority and no error had been committed in such rejection. The Court also reiterated that the grant of furlough leave was not a matter of right for the convict.<\/p>\n

Accordingly, the Court dismissed the petition holding that no case was made out to release Narayan on furlough leave.<\/p>\n
