D.B. CIVIIL WRIT PAROLE PETITION No. 3691/2008 Date : 14.7.2008 HON'BLE MR. PRAKASH TATIA, J. HON'BLE MR. CHAND MAL TOTLA, J. Mr. V.R. Mehta, P.P. - - - - - Petitioner's prayer for pre-mature release has been rejected by authority in view of decision taken in the meeting dated 19.2.2008. The reason given is only that though the Jail Superintendent recommended for release of petitioner under rules for premature release but the Superintendent of Police, Hanumangarh has opined otherwise. The reasons are not mentioned in the minutes of the Advisory Board dated 19.2.08. By 19.2.08, petitioner had already served sentence of 16 years 5 months and 21 days. Five months have already passed after the said decision. In a matter for pre-mature release where the accused has served sentence for more than 16 years and about to complete 17 years sentence, the reasons given are not speaking, therefore, we deem it proper to direct the Committee to re-consider the matter afresh and look into the matter objectively in all aspects. The petition is accordingly disposed of with the direction to respondent Committee to consider the entire matter afresh and take decision in accordance with law, within a period of one month from today.
