IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA. CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO. 7 OF 2004. Shri Ravindra Haldankar, Central Jail, Aguada, Goa. ... Petitioner. Versus State of Goa through Inspector General of Prisons, Goa. ... Respondent. Mr. Arun Bras De Sa, Advocate under Legal Aid Scheme for the Petitioner Mr. S.N. Sardessai, Public Prosecutor for the Respondent/State. Coram : P.V. HARDAS, J. Date : 1st March 2004. ORAL JUDGMENT. Rule, returnable forthwith. By consent of the learned counsel for the parties, petition taken up for final hearing at the stage of admission. 2. The instant petition impugns the Order, dated 15th October 2003, passed by the Inspector General of Prisons, Panaji, Goa, rejecting the application of the petitioner for being released on parole. It appears that the petitioner had earlier been granted parole by the authorities from 3rd September to 10th October 2002. The petitioner had applied for being released on parole on the ground that he wanted to restart his tailoring shop and to see his wife and mother. The authorities, after verifying, found that the petitioner had not made out any case for being released on parole. I have heard - 2 - the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Mr. Sardessai, learned Public Prosecutor representing the respondent/State. The Inspector General of Prisons has applied his mind to the reasons stated by the petitioner for seeking his release on parole. On perusal of his application, which is made available from the records, by Mr. Sardessai, I do not find any infirmity in the reasoning of the Inspector General of Prisons to warrant any interference in the present petition. 3. Accordingly, Criminal Writ Petition is dismissed. Rule is discharged. No order as to costs. Since the petitioner is in prison, copy of this Judgment may be sent to the petitioner/prisoner. (P.V.
