Criminal Misc. No. M-15085 of 2009 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH **** Criminal Misc. No. M-15085 of 2009 Date of Decision:20.07.2009 Avtar Singh .....Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HARBANS LAL Present:- Mr. Balwinder Singh, Advocate for Mr. H.S. Rakhra, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Arshvinder Singh, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. **** HARBANS LAL, J. This petition has been moved by Avtar Singh under Section 482 of Cr.P.C read with Sections 3 and 4 of the Good Conduct of Prisoners (Temporary Release) Act, 1988 seeking emergency parole for one month. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties, besides perusing the record with due care and circumspection. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the daughter of the petitioner has to go abroad after clearing IELTS with her husband and for that the papers are to be submitted before the Australian Embassy and that being so, the presence of the petitioner is required for completing the necessary formalities of the written documents. Therefore, he may be granted the parole as sought for. I have well considered this submission. It is worth pointing out here that the respondents in their reply have submitted that the petitioner has availed four weeks parole recently Criminal Misc. No. M-15085 of 2009 -2- from 31.3.2009 to 29.4.2009 under the Temporary Release Act, 1962 and that being so, his further parole cannot be granted as per rules. I have well considered this averment in the reply. Needless to say, if the petitioner was to accompany his daughter for completing the formalities, he could have done so during his aforesaid parole period. There is nothing to suggest that to complete the formalities, certain documents are to be signed by the petitioner and that being so, his presence with his daughter is necessary. Such being the circumstances, no case is made out for grant of parole as sought for. Sequelly, this petition is dismissed. July 20, 2009 ( HARBANS LAL ) renu JUDGE
