It is undisputed that the petitioner's application seeking furlough was rejected on the ground which did not exist. 2.

The application was rejected stating that the petitioner when released on emergency parole had not surrendered on time. The punishment for not surrendering on time had already been set aside by the inspecting Judge prior to passing of the order dated 05.08.2025 ('impugned order') rejecting petitioner's application for furlough.

Thus, the impugned order rejecting the petitioner's application seeking furlough is set aside. The respondent authority is directed to pass the order afresh within a period of two weeks.

4.

The petition stands disposed of with aforesaid observations.

5.
