$rv19 * IN THE HIGH COURT OF DELHI AT NEW DELHI + W.P.(CRL) 1665/2011 RAKESH ..... Petitioner Through: Mr.A.J.Bhambhani, Ms.Nisha Bhambhani and Mr.Eiangbam Premjit Singh, Advocates. versus STATE OF THE NCT OF DELHI ..... Respondent Through: Mr.Saleem Ahmad ASC and Mr. CORAM: A.S.Rathore, Advocate. 51 Uday Pal Singh, PS Sadar Bazar. HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE V.K. SHALl ORDER 0/o 19.12.2011 1. Status report has been filed. 2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well the learned Additional Standing Counsel. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner has stated that it was almost a year back that the parole was granted to the petitioner,. It is further stated although furlough was granted on two occasions to the petitioner in the second half of the year, 2011, but that will not be an impediment for grant of parole to the petitioner, which has been sought by him for the purpose of affecting a partition of his joint property. 4. The learned Additional Standing Counsel for the respondent Digitally Signed By:AMULYA Certify that the digital file and physical file have been compared and the digital data is as per the physical file and no page is missing. Signature Not Verified has stated that according to his instructions, apart from the parole granted to the petitioner in the year 2009-2010, he has also ()btained furlough on three occasions wherein he was released for a period of two to three weeks and the last furlough had been availed of by the petitioner with effect from 21.11.2011 till 05.12.2011. It is further contended that the petitioner can execute power of attorney in favour of any of his brother as he has four brothers in order to protect his interest. 5. I have carefully considered the submissions made by the respective sides and gone through the record. I feel it is not a fit case for grant of parole. Firstly, he has four brothers and he can execute power of attorney in favour of any of them to protect his interest. In addition to this, the petitioner has been granted furlough for 2 to 3 weeks on as many as three occasions starting from 11.07.2011. 6. Although parole and furlough are two different concepts according to the guidelines of Government of NCT of Delhi but, nevertheless, the effect is the same as the petitioner is able to earn reprieve from the confinement of the jail. As the petitioner has already been outside the jail for almost 6 to 8 weeks from July itself, it is not a fit case where the Court can exercise its discretion in his favour. 7. Dismissed. V.K.
