JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA Present: Ms. Saloni Sharma, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. J.S. Bhullar, Assistant Advocate General, Punjab for the State. KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA, J. (ORAL) Present criminal writ petition has been filed under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India praying that four weeks’ parole be granted to the petitioner to enable him to attend the marriage of his son. Counsel for the State has stated that he has received instructions to the effect that the marriage of son of the petitioner indeed is scheduled for tomorrow i.e. 5th October, 2011. In the present case, prayer for grant of parole cannot be considered as reply is yet to be filed by counsel for the State. Furthermore, even if at this stage the order granting parole is passed, it will be difficult to execute the same. In these circumstances, Superintendent of Central Jail, Bathinda is directed to make sufficient arrangement to facilitate the petitioner’s attendance in the marriage of his Criminal Writ Petition No.1943 of 2011 (O&M) son. Accordingly, the petitioner shall be taken, in custody, for attending the marriage of his son. In view of the directions issued above, present petition is disposed of. A copy of this order, duly attested by the Bench Secretary of this Court, be handed over to counsel for the State for onward transmission and compliance.
