Criminal Misc. No. M-18858 of 2009 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH **** Criminal Misc. No. M-18858 of 2009 Date of Decision:20.07.2009 Dalbir @ Kala .....Petitioner Vs. State of Haryana and others .....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HARBANS LAL Present:- Mr. Surender Deswal, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Amit Kaushik, Assistant Advocate General, Haryana. **** HARBANS LAL, J. This petition has been moved by Dalbir alias Kala under Section 482 of Cr.P.C read with Section 3(1)(a) of Haryana Good Conduct Prisoners (Temporary Release) Act, 1988 seeking emergency parole for four weeks on account of unfortunate death of his mother. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties, besides perusing the record with due care and circumspection. As averred in this petition, the mother of the petitioner had expired on 29.6.2009. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner has to perform some of the pending sacred rites, such as, visarjan/ flowing of urn in Ganga River in Haridwar and for hawan in Pehowa for peace and solace of the departed soul as per Hindu Rites and, that being so, he may be released on parole for four weeks. I have given a deep and thoughtful consideration to this submission. It is apt to be borne in mind that till date, a period of 21 days Criminal Misc. No. M-18858 of 2009 -2- has elapsed from the date of death. By all probabilities, all the alleged formalities would have certainly been completed by now. That being so, no ground is made out for grant of parole as sought for by the petitioner. Sequelly, this petition is dismissed. July 20, 2009 ( HARBANS LAL ) renu JUDGE
