Divisional Commissioner & another] Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Petition is received by Post. Mr. D.B. Yengal, APP for respondents. ---- CORAM : A.H. JOSHI AND A.B. CHAUDHARI, JJ. DATE : 03rd February, 2011. 1. This is a Letter-Petition. 2. Petitioner prays for indulgence, and wants a direction that his request for extension of parole be considered. 3. According to petitioner, had the refusal of extension of parole been done punctually, he would not overstayed the leave. 4. While a request for extension needs to be considered punctually, delay in decision does not, in any manner, create a license in favour of a prisoner to overstay parole. 2 5. Petitioner s apprehension that now forfeiture of remissions may follow, seems to be a reasonable apprehension, however, it would depend upon the decision that would be reached by the authorities after considering the explanation as may be offered by the petitioner. 6. When the prisoner chooses to overstay the parole at his own risk, solely on the ground that the decision had not reached him on time, does not constitute to be a aground to grant extension in parole by this Court. 7. We, therefore, dismiss the petition. 8. Steno copy of this order be supplied to learned APP free of cost for communicating the contents of this order to the prisoner through the Superintendent of Jail concerned. Judge Judge |Hedau|
