Criminal Misc. No. M-6521 of 2009 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH **** Criminal Misc. No. M-6521 of 2009 (O&M) Date of Decision:10.03.2009 Naresh Kumar @ Noni .....Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab and another .....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HARBANS LAL Present:- Mr. J.B.S. Gill, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. T.S. Salana, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. **** JUDGMENT HARBANS LAL, J. This petition has been moved by Naresh Kumar @ Noni under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure seeking extension of his parole period for two weeks from 13.3.2009 onwards under Section 3 and 4 of the Punjab Good Conduct Prisoner (Temporary Release) Act, 1962 (for short, `the Act') As averred in this petition, the petitioner was granted parole from 14.1.2009 to 13.3.2009 under the afore-referred Sections of the Act. Smt. Lekha Rani, mother of the petitioner aged about 70 years being a sick lady is having constant pain in epigestrion. On 2.3.2009, she was examined by doctor of Civil Hospital, Garhshankar, who diagnosed the aforesaid pain. The doctor advised her operation for removal of stone in her gall bladder. The petitioner intends to get her operation done and in these circumstances, his parole period may be extended. Criminal Misc. No. M-6521 of 2009 (O&M) -2- I have heard the learned counsel for the parties, besides perusing the record with due care and circumspection. It is own case of the petitioner that he is on parole since 14.1.2009 till 13.3.2009. During arguments, learned counsel for the petitioner could not convince the Court as to why the petitioner did not take the pains to get his mother operated upon during the aforesaid period. When his parole period is going to expire on 13.3.2009, he has applied for extension. There is no medical opinion on the record that Lekha Rani, mother of the petitioner requires immediate operation or that there is none else to look after her. Such being the circumstances, to my mind, no prima- facie case is made out for extension of parole period. Consequently, this petition is dismissed.
