IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. W.P. No. 504 of 2011 DATE OF DECISION : 01.03.2011 Tejbir .... PETITIONER Versus The State of Haryana and others ..... RESPONDENTS CORAM :- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SATISH KUMAR MITTAL HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M. JEYAPAUL Present: Mr. A.S. Trikha, Advocate, for the petitioner. * * * SATISH KUMAR MITTAL , J. ( Oral ) Petitioner Tejbir, who is a life convict and is confined in District Jail, Karnal, has filed this petition for issuing direction to the respondents to release him temporarily under the provisions of the Haryana Good Conduct Prisoners (Temporary Release) Act, 1988, to attend the marriage of his sister's son, which is scheduled to be solemnized today itself. Undisputedly, the petitioner was convicted on 6.3.2010 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. Thus, in this case, after his conviction, the petitioner has not completed one year of Crl. W.P. No. 504 of 2011 -2- imprisonment. Even otherwise, for the aforesaid relief, the petitioner has directly approached this court, without approaching the jail authorities. Thus, we are not inclined to entertain this petition. Dismissed.
