The accused - petitioner by this petition under Article 226 of the Constitution prays for his release on parole leave of 60 days. In the application he has given out the reasons for his release on parole leave as against the judgment of this court in appeal, he wants to prefer appeal before the Supreme Court and what he states to prefer appeal, he needs 60 days time to collect the papers from Rajkot and this Court. The accused petitioner is in jail at present. He can file an appeal directly through jail authority to the Supreme Court, if he really desirous of filing of the same. Grounds given appears to be grounds to get out from the prison on one or for other pretext. I fail to understand what for his presence is necessary in the criminal matter, more so, when this is an appeal against the conviction. In criminal appeal in preparation thereof that standard requirement and form is not necessary as what it is required in the civil case. Simple appeal memo is to be presented and rest of things are to be taken care of by the Court. 2. There is a provision in Jail Manual what Shri Patel states to take care of such petitioner - convict who desires to file appeal against the judgment of his conviction. This application appears to be only an attempt or pretext to get out one or other way out of the jail. 3. In the result, Special Criminal Application fails and the same is dismissed. Rule discharged. No order as to costs. (S.K.Keshote,J.) (pathan)
