Gaikee, Adv. (appointed) for petitioner] [Shri J.B. Jaiswal, APP for respondents] CORAM:- K.J. ROHEE & A.B. CHAUDHARI, JJ. DATED :- 29.04.2008 1. Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the respondents. 2. The petitioner is a life convict and is undergoing sentence along with two of his sons. On 11.9.2007, he applied for parole on the ground of illness of his third son Prashant. The said application came to be rejected by the competent authority by order dated 20.12.2007 on the ground that the medical certificate shows that the son of the petitioner was suffering from 2 typhoid from 27.8.2007 to 27.9.2007 and as such it was not necessary to release the petitioner on parole on the ground of illness of his son. This order of rejection has been challenged by the petitioner. 3. It may be noted that typhoid cannot be said to be serious illness because the illness was in the past i.e. during the month of August and September, 2007. 4. In view of this circumstance, we do not think that the competent authority was not justified in rejecting the application for parole. We find that the impugned order does not suffer from any illegality. We are not inclined to interfere with the said order. The petition is, therefore, dismissed. 5. Fees of Advocate appointed for the petitioner is quantified at Rs.750/ only. JUDGE JUDGE ssw
