State of Haryana and others …..Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S. BEDI. -.- Present:- Mr. R.K. Bagga, Advocate for the petitioner. Ms. Gursreet Kaur, DAG, Haryana. -.- M.M.S. BEDI, J. (ORAL) Through instant petition, the petitioner seeks the concession of emergency parole for three weeks to enable him to look after his wife who is stated to be suffering from Post Intra Vertebral Disc problem. The report of MRI of spice has been attached. His father is also stated to have suffered injuries in an accident. It has been admitted in the reply that the petitioner was convicted by Special Judge, Karnal on March 25, 2010 and that he has Crl. W.P. No. 1201 of 2010 [2] undergone 1 year, 9 months and 25 days of actual sentence. Since he has not completed one year of sentence after conviction as such he is not entitled to parole under Rule 4 (i) of the Haryana Government Gazette notification dated December 18, 2007. I have heard counsel for the petitioner as well as State counsel. The provisions of Rule 4 (1) are applicable in a case where the concession of parole is to be considered but Section 3 (1) (a) of the Haryana Good Conduct Prisoners (Temporary Release) Act, 1988, (for short ‘the Act) provides for release of a prisoner on parole in a case where a member of prisoner’s family has died or is seriously ill. The said concession is also available if the prisoner is seriously ill. The present case falls within the ambit of Rule 3 (1) (a) of the Act which reads as follows:- “3 (1) (a) A member of the prisoner’s family had died or is seriously ill or the prisoner himself is seriously ill;” A direction is issued to the respondents to consider the case of the petitioner for temporary release under the said provisions and grant him parole subject to any just condition, in accordance with law within a period of one week.
