Respondent Ms. I.M. Koparkar, advocate appointed for the petitioner. Ms. P.H. Kantharia, A.P.P. for the State. CORAM : SMT. RANJANA DESAI & R.G. KETKAR, JJ. DATED : 22ND JUNE, 2009. P.C.:- 1. The applicant, by an undated application, applied for parole on the ground that his father has to undergo an operation. He had annexed a copy of the certificate issued by the Medical Officer in-charge of Police Dispensary, Jalgaon on 16/1/2008 which states that his father is suffering from Hemiparesis c Arthritis, etc. However, this certificate does not state that his father has to undergo AJN 2 any operation. The prison authorities have rejected his application on the basis of adverse police report on 11/7/2008. Hence, he has approached this court. 2. Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that the applicant’s father is unwell and, hence, he may be released on parole. Learned A.P.P. has informed us that the applicant was, on two earlier occasions, released on parole. On the first occasion, he surrendered to prison 59 days after expiry of the parole period. On the second occasion, he has surrendered to the prison 55 days after expiry of the parole period. Besides the medical certificate does not indicate that the operation of the applicant’s father is fixed. In view of the aforesaid and considering the adverse police report, the application is rightly rejected by the prison authorities. Hence, the petition is dismissed. 3. If the applicant submits a fresh application for parole with latest medical certificate, his prayer may be AJN 3 considered in accordance with law. This order be communicated to the prisoner. [SMT.
