High Court of Gujarat

AEJAZ URFE SAMIR SUPADU SHAHversusSTATE OF GUJARATR

Disposal: 28-REJECTED @ ADM.STAGE
Bench: SANJEEV THAKER

Holding

The petition was rejected as no case was made out for granting furlough leave to a recently released prisoner.

Summary

The petitioner, Aeja… Shah, filed a Special Criminal Application seeking a 30‑day parole (furlough leave) to provide financial assistance to his family. The jail records showed that the petitioner had been released from custody on 10 March 2026 and remained out of jail until 24 March 2026. The court noted that because the petitioner had only recently been released, there was no sufficient ground to grant further leave. Consequently, the application was rejected. The order was directed to be communicated to the jail authority.
