None present for the petitioner. Mr.KR Bishnoi, PP. - - - - - Heard learned public prosecutor. The petitioner Narayan @ Ram Narayan has preferred this parole writ petition from Central Jail, Bikaner seeking his release on parole for 20 days. As per the facts given out by the State in the reply, the petitioner was convicted for offence under Sections 364A read with 120B(i) IPC and sentenced to life imprisonment with fine. The petitioner's appeal against the said conviction is pending before this Court. The petitioner has served the sentence for 7 years 11 months 10 days including jail remission of 11 months 17 days. The petitioner's parole application has been rejected only on the ground that S.P., Jhalawar has given adverse report that in case, the petitioner will be released on parole, then it will give wrong impression. However, the Social Welfare Department and Jail Superintendent has 2 reported that the conduct of the petitioner was satisfactory. Without meeting with the reasons given by the Social Welfare Department and Jail Superintendent, in a cursory manner, the petitioner's prayer for parole has been rejected in parole committee's meeting dated 10.3.2010. The Jail Superintendent who has direct knowledge about the conduct of the accused since found the conduct of the petitioner satisfactory and the Social Welfare Department has opined for the released of the accused on parole, the apprehension of the Superintendent of Police of the area cannot prevail in the facts of the case. Consequently, this parole writ petition is allowed. The respondents are directed to release the petitioner on first parole for twenty (20) days on terms and conditions, which may be imposed by the authorities concerned. (KAILASH CHANDRA JOSHI), J.
