IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO. 26 OF 2011 MR. AMAR SINGH CHAUHAN, PRESENTLY SERVING SENTENCE AT CENTRAL JAIL AGUADA, SINQUERIM., ... Petitioner Versus STATE OF GOA, THROUGH CHIEF SECRETARY AND 2 ORS., ... Respondents Miss. Prema Matker, Advocate for the Petitioner. Mr. C. A. Fereira, Public Prosecutor for the State/Respondents. Coram:- S. C. DHARMADHIKARI & F. M. REIS, JJ. Date:- 19th April, 2011 P.C.:- An application for parole was made by the Petitioner on 20th January, 2011, which came to be rejected by the impugned Order-Annexure "A" to the petition. 2. That was an application for release on Parole on the ground that the Petitioner/Prisoner has lost his son and rights and ceremony were to be performed. 3. From perusal of the record, we find that the son of the Petitioner expired in the State of Himachal Pradesh on 11th November, 2010. 4 The Petitioner now states that his wife Smt.Sanotsh has been hospitalised and there is nobody to look after her. He has elder daughter who is married and residing separately. He has aged mother who will not be able to attend to his wife. 5. We have no doubt in our mind that if an application for release on Parole is made by the Petitioner/Prisoner on the ground of illness of his wife and supported by necessary record, the concerned Officer will decide it in accordance with the Rules and pass appropriate orders thereon uninfluenced by rejection of the earlier application. 6. This petition, therefore, can be disposed of, as there is no reason to interfere with the Order under challenge. However, if a fresh application is made by the Petitioner/Prisoner on the ground of his wife's illness and hospitalisation, the Authority concerned to decide and pass appropriate orders within a period of two weeks from the date such an application is received in the Office of the concerned Authority.
