IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. W.P. No. 332 of 2011 DATE OF DECISION : 11.02.2011 Sonu alias Amar .... PETITIONER Versus State of Haryana and others ..... RESPONDENTS CORAM :- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SATISH KUMAR MITTAL HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M. JEYAPAUL Present: Ms. Anju Arora, Advocate, for the petitioner. * * * SATISH KUMAR MITTAL , J. ( Oral ) Petitioner Sonu alias Amar, who is a life convict and is confined in District Jail, Sonepat, without first approaching the authorities under the Haryana Good Conduct Prisoners (Temporary Release) Act, 1988, has directly filed this petition for directing the respondents to release him on parole on account of his sister's wedding. Admittedly, after his conviction, the petitioner has not completed one year of imprisonment and as per Rule 4 (1) of the Haryana Good Conduct Prisoners(Temporary Release) Rules, 2007, prayer of a convict for grant of parole can be considered only on completion of one year of his imprisonment after conviction. In view of the aforesaid legal position, we are not inclined to Crl. W.P. No. 332 of 2011 -2- entertain this petition. Dismissed. ( SATISH KUMAR MITTAL ) JUDGE February 11, 2011 ( M.
