IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No.13323 of 2007 DATE OF DECISION:09.03.2007 Pritpal Singh ..........Petitioner Versus State of Punjab & Ors. ..........Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SATISH KUMAR MITTAL Present:- Shri AS Trikha, Advocate for the petitioner. Shri N.S. Gill, AAG, Punjab. **** The petitioner, who is undergoing 15 years sentence under the NDPS Act, has filed this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for order of his release on emergency parole, on the ground of the marriage of his son is fixed for 10.3.2007. Counsel for the respondent-State on telephonic instructions from the Superintendent Jail, has submitted that the petitioner never approached the authorities for granting the parole on the said ground and he has straightway approached this Court. Though he has stated that on verification, it has been found that the marriage of the son of the petitioner is fixed for 10.3.2007. Since the petitioner has filed this petition at a belated stage, without first approaching the appropriate authorities under the Punjab Good Conduct Prisoners (Temporary Release) Act, 1962. I am not inclined to entertain this petition directly here for the same relief at belated stage. Dismissed. March 09, 2007 (SATISH KUMAR MITTAL) pooja JUDGE
