The petitioner has been granted Furlough by the State vide order dated 15.01.2018 for a period of three weeks from the date of his release. He has been unable to enjoy the liberty so granted since he is unable to comply with the first condition of furnishing two sureties in the sum of Rs.10,000/- each along with a personal bond in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Jail Superintendent concerned. No Status Report has been

filed by the State. However, Ms. Kamna Vohra, the learned Additional Standing Counsel for the State states upon instructions that the address of the petitioner has been verified. His father has since passed away and his ill mother is unable to travel to Delhi. His siblings are also incapable to come to Delhi and/or stand surety for the petitioner.
