The petitioner has been granted Furlough by the State vide order dated 26.03.2018 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 one surety in the sum of Rs.10,000/- along with a personal bond in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Jail Superintendent concerned.
