ORDER : ABHILASHA KUMARI, J. 1. Rule. Mr. Ronak Raval, learned Additional Public Prosecutor, waives service of notice of Rule for the respondents. 2. This application dated 22.06.2017, has been preferred by the applicant, through Jail, with a prayer to enlarge him on temporary bail for a period of thirty days, in order to enable him to cultivate his agricultural land, which is in the name of his father Pruthvisinh Mansinh Vaghela. 3. The applicant undergoing life imprisonment in connection with the offence punishable under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. 4. We have perused the averments made in the application as well as the Jail remarks pertaining to the applicant, which indicate that his conduct in Jail is good, at present. However, we notice from the Jail remarks that the applicant has been enlarged on temporary bail quite frequently on different occasions from January to June, 2017, on the ground of looking after his father and to perform agricultural activities. 5. We further notice that there is a Note in the Jail remarks indicating that the father of the applicant-Pruthvisinh Mansinh Vaghela has written two letters to the Jail Authorities dated 06.10.2014 and 16.03.2017, respectively, asking them not to release the applicant on furlough. The reason for this is not reflected in the Jail remarks. However, it does appear that the father of the applicant, in whose name the agricultural land stands, is not desirous of the presence of the applicant at home. 6. The reasons stated in the application, therefore, do not inspire confidence. Hence, the application is rejected. Rule is discharged.
