P.C.: This is a petition by the prisoner against rejection of parole. 2. The petitioner requested for parole which was rejected on the ground that on earlier two occasions in the years 2005 and 2006 he had over stayed parole. On the first occasion by 15 days and on the 2nd occasion by 23 days. It may be pointed out that on both occasions, the petitioner had surrendered himself, which shows that his intention was not to escape the punishment. 3. Therefore, we direct that the parole be granted to the petitioner on usual condition. 2 4. Writ Petition is, accordingly, allowed and disposed of. Sd/- (BILAL NAZKI, J.) Sd/- (A. R. JOSHI, J.)
