Criminal Misc. No.M-17375 of 2008 -1- **** IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No.M-17375 of 2008 Date of decision : 1.9.2008 Krishan .....Petitioner Versus State of Haryana and others ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S. D. ANAND Present: Ms. Sarla Chaudhary, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.S. Mor, Senior Deputy Advocate General, Haryana for the respondent-State. S. D. ANAND, J. The plea by the petitioner-prisoner for his release on parole (for effecting repairs of his house) for four weeks was declined by the competent authority vide order dated 2.7.2008 (Annexure P-2) by observing that the repair job can be got done by parents and two brothers of the petitioner, who are living and available in the village. Yet another ground noticed in the impugned order is that release on parole of the petitioner-prisoner “may result in breach of peace in the village”. The order passed by the Commissioner, Gurgaon Division, Gurgaon (respondent no.2) deserves to be invalidated on both the counts. It is for the petitioner-prisoner to decide upon the extent to which repairs are required. His plea in the relevant behalf cannot be declined on the ground noticed by respondent no.2. Criminal Misc. No.M-17375 of 2008 -2- **** Insofar as the other ground noticed for declining the parole plea is concerned, there also respondent no. 2 is not on a firmer footing. That ground for rejection is fairly hypothetical in character. The petition shall stand allowed accordingly. The petitioner/prisoner is ordered to be released on four weeks parole subject, ofcourse, to the furnishing of adequate security to the satisfaction of the authority competent in that behalf.
