CORAM : A.P. LAVANDE & P.D. KODE, JJ. DATE : AUGUST 06, 2010. Heard Ms. Nisha Gajbhiye, learned counsel holding for Dr. U.K. Kalasi, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mrs. K.S. Joshi, learned APP for the respondents. By this petition the petitioner challenges order dated 27.4.2010 passed by respondent no.2 rejecting parole leave to the petitioner. The petitioner is presently undergoing the sentence of imprisonment for life for having committed offence punishable under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code at Central Prison, Amravati. On 1.2.2010 the petitioner sought parole on the ground that his wife was seriously ill. The Competent Authority called for police report which was adverse to 2 the petitioner. Based on the police report, the Competent Authority rejected parole leave on the ground that criminal case is pending against the petitioner and others for the offence punishable under Sections 147, 148, 149, 323, 324, 307 r/w 34 of the Indian Penal Code in respect of communal riots which took place during the period of parole leave. The fact that the petitioner is accused in Crime No.28/2009 registered at Police Station, Anjangaon Surji has not been serious disputed. In event the petitioner is released on parole, there is likelihood of law and order problem. The apprehension expressed by the Competent Authority cannot be said to be baseless. We find no illegality in the impugned order. Hence, the petition stands dismissed. JUDGE JUDGE Gulande
