D.B. CIVIIL WRIT PAROLE PETITION No. 2323/2008 Date : 26.5.2008 HON'BLE MR. PRAKASH TATIA, J. HON'BLE MR. CHAND MAL TOTLA, J. Mr. V.R. Mehta, P.P. - - - - - Petitioner Ratan lal's parole application was rejected vide order dated 03.04.2007 passed by Director General (Prison), Jaipur. The parole petition was dismissed on the ground that there is chance that the petitioner may involve in some criminal activities in case he is released on parole. However, the petitioner has already undergone sentence of 6 years 01 month and 12 days in total. The report of Social welfare department is that his grand mother is of 80 years, father 60 years, mother 55 years and his wife is 30 years of age. The petitioner has three daughters and two sons. Petitioner had a small cycle repairing shop and further it has been stated that the petitioner was not involved in criminal activities before this incident. It has been recommended that petitioner's parole application may be allowed. Narcotics department also submitted that petitioner's involvement in any offence of NDPS Act is not known to the department nor there is any information that he is member of any gang. However, it is stated that in case he is released on parole, he may abscond or he may involve himself in other criminal activities. After going through the reasons given by the Department of Narcotics as well as Social welfare department, we are of the view that petitioner's prayer for release on parole was wrongly rejected by the order dated 03.04.07 (Annex.R/5). Accordingly, the parole writ petition is allowed. It is directed that the petitioner Ratan lal S/o Mangi lal shall be released on parole for a period of 20 days on just and appropriate conditions determined by the Superintendent Central Jail, Ajmer to his own satisfaction. The Superintendent, Central Jail, Ajmer will also give a date for surrender. A copy of the order may be sent to the convict through jail authorities. (CHAND MAL TOTLA), J. (PRAKASH TATIA), J.
