IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No.M-27471 of 2008 Date of decision : 22.10.2008 Sucha Singh @ Mukhtiar Singh .....Petitioner Versus State of Haryana and others ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S. D. ANAND Present: Mr.H.S.Jaswal, Advocate for the petitioner. **** S. D. ANAND, J. The parole plea of the petitioner, a convict under N.D.P.S. Act was declined just because he is undergoing sentence in a case under the N.D.P.S. Act. The view that a petitioner-prisoner, undergoing imprisonment on conviction for smuggling of narcotic substances, cannot be released on parole had already been negatived by a judgment rendered by this Court in Criminal Writ No. 1157 of 2006 (Sukhwinder Singh @ Titto Vs. State of Punjab) decided on 10.8.2007. The petition shall stand allowed. The impugned order dated 4.9.2008 ( Annexure P/2) is set aside. The competent authority is directed to pass an order afresh within a period of one from today in the light of the observations made by this Court in Sukhwinder Singh @ Titto's case (supra). It will be for the State counsel to communicate the order to the competent authority. Copy of the order be given to the learned State counsel under the signatures of the Court Secretary.
