Criminal Writ Petition No. 995 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Writ Petition No. 995 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision : 03.06.2010 Sat Narain ....Petitioner V/s State of Haryana and others ....Respondents BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Gourav Bhayyia, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Tarun Aggarwal, Sr. Deputy Advocate General, Haryana. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) The instant writ petition has been preferred by the petitioner for grant of extension of parole for a period of eight weeks for treatment of his illness. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that petitioner is seriously ill and is, thus, entitled to extension of parole. Learned State counsel has vehemently opposed the prayer for extension of parole and has submitted that petitioner suffers from no serious illness for which extension of prole is required. He has referred to para 4 of the reply filed by Superintendent District Jail, Sirsa to contend that petitioner is suffering from 'diabetics mellitus with hypertension' involving his eye as well. He submits that, if required, petitioner will be referred to P.G.I.M.S., Rohtak for treatment as prescribed in Government norms or any other government affiliated hospital. Learned counsel has referred to Section 6 of the amended Haryana Good Conduct Prisoners (Temporary Criminal Writ Petition No. 995 of 2010 2 Release) Act, 2007 to contend that Act does not envisage extension of prole except as provided in the Act. He submits that petitioner has already availed of extension of parole. Learned State counsel submits that petitioner had been granted parole for six weeks and was to surrender on 10.04.2010. However, he has availed extended parole for more than six weeks thereafter. I have heard learned counsel for the parties. Only prayer made is for extension of parole for eight weeks. This period is almost over and thus, petitioner has even availed of extension as prayed for in the petition. This apart, State in its reply has taken a clear stand that petitioner will be referred to Government affiliated hospital as per rules, if necessary, P.G.I.M.S., Rohtak. In view of above, no ground for extension of parole is made out. Dismissed. The petitioner is directed to surrender before the Superintendent, District Jail, Sirsa forthwith latest by 5.00 p.m. tomorrow i.e. 04.06.2010. June 03, 2010 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
