1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO.544 OF 2008 (Manohar Jagdeo Chavan vs. State and another) ___________________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. CORAM : D.D. SINHA AND A.P. BHANGALE , JJ. DATED : OCTOBER 1, 2008 Heard Shri Waranashiwar, learned Counsel for the petitioner, and Shri Sonare, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the respondents. The petition is directed against the order passed by the competent Authority whereby request of the petitioner for grant of parole on the ground of illness of his father came to be rejected . We have considered the contentions of the learned Counsel for the parties and perused the affidavit filed on behalf of respondent no.1. Perusal of the affidavit shows that father of the petitioner is suffering from hernia and there is nothing on record to demonstrate whether father of the petitioner needs immediate surgery, etc. In view of these facts, conclusion arrived at by the competent Authority 2 whereby request of the petitioner for grant of parole came ot be rejected, cannot be said to be unfounded. The petition suffers from lack of merit and hence, the same is dismissed. JUDGE JUDGE khj
