We have heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Public Prosecutor and it is noted that out of four occasions when the petitioner was released either on furlough or on parole, he over stayed on two occasions, once for 18 days and second time for 14 days. Last time he was granted parole was on 23rd January, 2007. Two years have passed and the wife of the petitioner is not well. 2 3. Therefore, we allow the writ petition and direct that the petitioner be granted parole for a period of 15 (fifteen) days subject to the conditions to be imposed upon by the Jail Authority. He shall further give an undertaking that he shall not over stay the period of parole. 4. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. Sd/- (BILAL NAZKI, J.) Sd/- (ANOOP V. MOHTA, J.)
