Smt. Indu Verma, appointed advocate for the Petitioner. Ms P.H.Kantharia, APP for the State. CORAM: Smt. RANJANA DESAI & R. G. KETKAR, JJ DATED: 17th June, 2009 P.C. 1. The petitioner’s application for parole was rejected on the ground that when the petitioner was earlier released on parole on 20th July,2005, he surrendered late by 33 days. 2. According to petitioner, his mother’s eye operation is to be performed. The prison authorities have recorded the petitioner’s statement. The Petitioner 2 stated that he may be released on parole. According to him after release on parole, he will fix the date of operation of his mother. It is not possible for us to grant such prayer. 3. The petitioner should ask his relatives to fix the date of his mother’s eye operation. Once the date is fixed, he may make appropriate application to the prison authorities. If such application is made, the prison authorities should consider it favourably and the fact that earlier he surrendered late may not be taken into account considering the fact that the petitioner’s mother requires eye operation and also considering the fact that the petitioner’s remission has already been cut because he had surrendered late. This order be communicated to the petitioner in the jail where he is lodged. 4. The petition is disposed of. (Smt. RANJANA DESAI, J) (R.G. KETKAR, J)
