Bhanwari Devi. vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors. Date : 20.8.2008 HON'BLE MR. PRAKASH TATIA, J. HON'BLE MR. C.M. TOTLA, J. By post. Mr.VR Mehta, PP. - - - - - Heard learned Public Prosecutor and perused the reply filed by State. The petitioner, wife of convict, has submitted this parole writ petition with the facts that her husband was convicted for offence under Section 376 IPC and has been sentenced to undergo ten years' rigorous imprisonment in Sessions Case NO.7/2004 by the court of Additional Sessions Judge (Fast Track) No.1, Bikaner. The convict was granted first parole for 20 days but thereafter, he did not surrender in time and submitted reason for not surrendering in time. However, he remained absconded for 1 year 2 months. Then, the convict obtained 20 days parole by the order of this 2 D.B. Criminal (Parole) Writ Petition No.5207/2008 Smt. Bhanwari Devi. vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors. Court on the ground of sickness of his wife i.e. the petitioner. Then again the convict obtained 20 days parole on the ground of sickness of his son. Those paroles were granted by the orders dated 27.2.2007 and 1.6.2007 respectively. Before that, he was granted parole for 20 days in the month of February, 2005 and thereafter, he remained absconded. It appears that the convict remained with his family thrice during this period of sentence of 3 years 5 months 10 days only. In view of the above reason, we do not find any reason to allow this petition to release the convict on parole. Consequently, this parole petition, having no merits, is hereby dismissed. However, the convict will be free to submit another application after one year from today. This order be conveyed to the convict through the jail authorities. (C.M. TOTLA), J. (PRAKASH TATIA), J.
