Criminal Misc. No.M-25078 of 2008 -1- **** IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No.M-25078 of 2008 Date of decision : 3.10.2008 Rajesh .....Petitioner Versus State of Haryana and others ...Respondents **** CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S. D. ANAND Present: Mr. S.S.Duhan, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.S.Mor, Senior Deputy Advocate General, Haryana. S. D. ANAND, J. A letter received by the Advocate General, Haryana from the Superintendent, District Jail, Karnal (produced by the learned State counsel) is taken on record. In the light of the averments made in the course of the above letter, learned State counsel concedes that the delivery of wife of the petitioner is due on or about 28.10.2008. His only grievance is that the petitioner has already availed two paroles ( one for six weeks and other for four weeks and one furlough for two weeks) during the current year. That law has to have a mix of human compassion as well. Apart from being a prisoner, the petitioner is a husband too. His being around at the time of delivery would be a great emotional support for his wife. He, too, would be free from avoidable stress if the delivery takes place when he is available. Criminal Misc. No.M-25078 of 2008 -2- **** The petition shall stand allowed accordingly. The petitioner is ordered to be released on parole for a period of ten days with effect from 24.10.2008 subject, of course, to the furnishing of adequate security to the satisfaction of the authority competent in the relevant behalf. It will be for the State counsel to communicate the order to the competent authority. Copy of the order be given to the learned State counsel under the signatures of the Court Secretary.
