This petition has been moved by Munsaf Ali under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure seeking extension of emergency parole. The brief facts are that when the petitioner was behind the bar, on 3.3.2009, all of a sudden, his father expired. He was granted two weeks emergency parole. As per the religious traditions, the consolation period has been fixed for 40 days. During his period, his presence in the house is essential. In these circumstances, his existing parole may be extended for 26 days more. In the reply filed by the respondents, it has been averred that on 7.3.2009, the petitioner was released on parole for two weeks and he was directed to surrender before the jail authority on 22.3.2009. Concededly, the parole period of the petitioner was to expire on 17.3.2009. He moved this petition on 10.3.2009. There is nothing on the record to show that his parole period has been extended till today. After the death of his father, Criminal Misc. No. M-6920 of 2009 (O&M) -2- there was obviously sufficient time of 14 days to attend the rites and rituals. Thus prima-facie, no ground is made out for extension of his parole period.
