IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO.1411 OF 2010 Vijay B. Chaugule .. Petitioner V/s. The State of Maharashtra & Others .. Respondents. Shri N.N.Gavankar with Shri Arfan Sait, for the Petitioner. Shri A.S.Gadkar, APP for Respondent No.1. CORAM: R.M.SAVANT & MRS.MRIDULA BHATKAR, J.J. (VACATION COURT) DATED: 12th MAY, 2010. P.C.: 1. The above Criminal Writ Petition takes exception to the order dated 28th April, 2010 passed by the Appellate Authority by which order,the order passed by the Divisional Commissioner, Pune Division, Pune has been confirmed where by the Petitioners application for parole stands rejected. The said application for parole is rejected on twin grounds namely the past conduct of the Petitioner, when he was released on parole and he re surrendered after 111 days and also for the reason that there are other persons at home to take care of the sick mother of the Petitioner, which is the ground on which the parole was sought by the Petitioner. The learned counsel appearing for the Petitioner submitted that the said order has been passed by the Appellate Authority without hearing the Advocate for the Petitioner. The said submission does not commend to us. The rules of natural justice are not to be put in straight jacket formula so that they can be invoked in respect of an application for parole. What was required of the authorities in the instant case is that they took into consideration the relevant material which they have done so in the present case. Having perused the reasons, we are satisfied with the same. Hence no interference is called for in the writ jurisdiction. The Criminal Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed. (MRS. MRIDULA BHATKAR, J.) (R.M.SAVANT,J.)
