1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO. 474 OF 2009 Santosh Bhausaheb Gholap. ... Petitioner. Versus The Divisional Commissoner, Pune & Ors. .... Respondents. Mrs. Indrayani M. Koparkar for the Petitioner. Mr. K. V. Saste, APP for the State CORAM : BILAL NAZKI and A. R. JOSHI, JJ. DATED : 6TH MARCH, 2009. P.C.: The petitioner is undergoing sentence of 10 years under the N.D.P.S. Act since 2006. He has applied for parole which has been rejected on the ground that he may repeat the offence for which he had been convicted. We find on this ground the parole should not have been refused because there was nothing before the police that the petitioner was a habitual offender or there was any basis to believe his repeating the offence. At best the Authority could have imposed certain conditions to ensure good conduct of the petitioner while on leave. 2. After hearing the learned Public Prosecutor, we dispose of the writ 2 petition with direction to the respondents that the parole leave be granted to the petitioner on usual conditions and in addition he may be asked to report to the police station concerned no every alternate days during the leave period. 3. Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. Sd/- (BILAL NAZKI, J.) Sd/- (A. R. JOSHI, J.)
