Kantharia, Additional Public Prosecutor, for the State. CORAM: B ILAL NAZKI and A.R. JOSHI, JJ. DATE: AUGUST 4, 2009 P.C.:- The petitioner applied for parole on 30th July, 2008 on the ground that his mother was ill. There was her doctor’s certificate. The police report was favourable to the petitioner also. Still, however, the authorities rejected his application for grant of parole. 2 2. We are told that he is serving life sentence for more than 6 years. In between, he has been granted parole in 2009, and he returned and surrendered well in time. Therefore, there was no reason for the respondent not to grant the application of the petitioner. In any case, he is entitled to furlough. 3. We, therefore, direct that the respondent shall grant the petitioner leave on furlough on usual terms and conditions, and pass appropriate orders within one week. 4. The petition is disposed of.
