1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIM. WRIT PETITION NO. 2186 OF 2009 Rachana Yogesh Pai ...Petitioner Versus The Divisional Commissioner, Pune, & Anr. ...Respondents Mrs. Indrayani M. Koparkar for the Petitioner Mr. S.R. Shinde, Additional Public Prosecutor, for the State. CORAM: B ILAL NAZKI and A.R. JOSHI, JJ. DATE: SEPTEMBER 1, 2009 P.C.:­ The petitioner is suffering life imprisonment. She applied for parole on the ground that her 3­year­old child was to undergo surgery. The application for parole has been rejected on a police report, which appears to be a standard practice in such cases. These reports can, at best, be mentioned as “table reports”. The report says that if the prisoner is released, she will harass the 2 witnesses, who appeared against her in the case, forgetting that she was also released on parole on 27th February, 2009, and she remained on parole till 26th March, 2009, and surrendered herself thereafter, and during this period of one month, she did not harass anybody. 2. For these reasons, we set aside the order passed by the respondents, and direct that she should be released on parole on usual terms and conditions. 3. The petition stands disposed of.
