1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO. 828 OF 2009 Subhash Govind Ghadge ... Petitioner Vs. The Divisional Commissioner, Pune & Ors. ...Respondents Mrs.Indrayani M. Koparkar for Petitioner Mr.A.S.Gadkari, A.P.P CORAM: SMT. RANJANA DESAI & SHRI. R.G. KETKAR, JJ. DATED : 29TH APRIL, 2009 P.C. 1. The petitioner is at present undergoing imprisonment at Yerwada Central Prison, Pune. He is convicted for the offence punishable under Section 20(b) of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act and sentenced to imprisonment for 15 years. Application for parole made by him is rejected by the Additional Commissioner, Pune on 12th March, 2009 and therefore, he has approached the Court. 2. We have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. 2 She submitted that the petitioner's mother is ill and therefore, he should have been granted parole. It is not possible for us accept this. The doctor's certificate dated 15th July, 2008 submitted by her states that the petitioner's mother was suffering from Dysfunctional uterine bleeding. It appears that the certificate states that she is advised regular followup and rest for one month from 15th July, 2008. It appears to us therefore that the petitioner's mother is not suffering from any serious ailment because only one month's rest was advised and that period has already expired. The medical certificate is not recent Hence, we cannot consider the petitioner's prayer. However, if there is any pressing reason and if mother is seriously ill, it will always be open to the petitioner to make application for parole. Needless to state that if such application is made that application will be considered by the authorities in accordance with law. 3. Petition is disposed of accordingly. (SMT. RANJANA DESAI, J.)
