Respondent. None for the Petitioner. Mr. P. S. Hingorani, APP for the Respondents. CORAM : BILAL NAZKI and ANOOP V. MOHTA, JJ. DATED : 3RD FEBRUARY, 2009. P. C.: The petitioner moved application for grant of parole on the ground that his wife needs to undergo surgery. This has been rejected by the respondent on the ground that no date of surgery has been fixed. 2. We have perused the medical certificate issued by the doctor. Obviously, the wife of the petitioner was not required to undergo surgery on an emergency basis. It could be planned surgery. Therefore, may be, the wife was waiting for her husband to come to fix the date of surgery. 3. In this view of the matter, let the respondent confirm from the prisoner as to whether his wife has undergone surgery or yet to undergo 2 the surgery. If she is yet to undergo the surgery, the respondent shall consider the case of the prisoner for grant of parole and pass appropriate orders within 10 days from today. 4. With the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. Sd/- (BILAL NAZKI, J.) Sd/- (ANOOP V. MOHTA, J.)
