IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO. 2 OF 2008 SURESH CHANAPPA, PRISONER NO. 797 AGUADA ... Petitioner Versus STATE OF GOA THROUGH CHIEF SECRETARY AND 2 ORS., ... Respondents Ms. Asha Dessai, Advocate for the petitioner. Ms. W. Coutinho, P.P. for the State. Coram:- A. P. LAVANDE & N. A. BRITTO, JJ. Date:- 27th February, 2008 P.C. Heard Ms. Dessai, the learned Advocate on behalf of the petitioner and Ms. Coutinho, the learned P.P. on behalf of the respondent. Perused the impugned Order dated 29.11.2007. By the impugned Order, the Inspector General of Prisons has declined to grant parole to the petitioner. It appears that the petitioner had sought parole for a period of 30 days on the ground of sickness of his sister who has three minor children and who is a widow. It appears from the impugned order that an inquiry was made by the Inspector General of Prisons by calling for the report from his counter part and all that the said report indicated was that the petitioner's sister was sick due to old age. The Inspector General of Prisons has rejected the request of the petitioner because it did not fit within Rule 324 of the Goa Prison Rules, 2006. 2. We find no infirmity with the impugned order. The petition, therefore, is hereby dismissed. A. P. LAVANDE, J. N. A. BRITTO, J. ssm.
