1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JAIPUR BENCH, JAIPUR ORDER S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.5768/2008 Ashok Kumar Versus The State of Rajasthan Date of order ::: November 21,2008 HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE PREM SHANKER ASOPA Ms.Milan Sharma, for the petitioner Dr.A.S.Khangarot, Addl. GA for the State BY THE COURT By this writ petition, the petitioner who is undergoing sentence in the Central Jail, Kota, seeks grant of regular parole for 20 days under rule 9 of the Rajasthan Prisoners' Release on Parole Rules, 1958. The petitioner was convicted and sentenced by the Special Judge SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Baran vide judgment dated 31.10.2006 in Sessions Case No.53/2005. Submission of counsel for the petitioner is that the petitioner submitted an application before the Distt. Parole Advisory Committee which was considered in its meeting dated 21.4.2008. The Supdt. Of Police has not recommended to release the petitioner on parole. Counsel also submits that as per Rule 9 2 of the Rules of 1958, the petitioner is entitled to grant of first parole for twenty days. Counsel for the respondents submits that the petitioner is not entitled to grant of parole due to adverse police report. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and the conduct of the convict in jail, the report of the police cannot be considered to be the sole ground to refuse regular parole to the petitioner. Therefore, I deem it proper to grant first parole to the petitioner for twenty days under Rule 9 of the Rules of 1958. It is, therefore, ordered that the petitioner Ashok Kumar son of Ram Prasad, presently undergoing sentence in the Central Jail, Kota, shall be released on parole for twenty days, provided he furnishes a personal bond in the sum of Rs.30,000/- (Rs.thirty thousand only) with two sureties of Rs.15,000/- each to the satisfaction of the Supdt. Central Jail, Kota to the effect that he will surrender himself before the Supdt. Central Jail, Kota on completion of 20 days i.e. the parole period. The parole 3 period shall be counted from the date of his release. The writ petition stands disposed of accordingly. (PREM SHANKER ASOPA) J. गोpa ल
