Bombay HC grants parole to Arun Gawli

March 03, 2016 15:07

Gangster-turned-politician Arun Gawli has been granted furlough by the Nagpur bench of the Bombay high court.

The bench, however, asked the state government to decide the duration of the furlough.

The former MLA, currently lodged in the Central Prison in Nagpur and serving life imprisonment in a murder case, had filed a petition before the bench on February 2 for grant of furlough.

A division bench of justices Bhushan Dharmadhikari and V M Deshpande granted him the furlough yesterday.

Gawli had claimed that there was no material on record to prove that he violated the provisions of furlough on earlier occasions. He also mentioned that he had not indulged in any illegal activity and had surrendered before the authorities on the due date.
