Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GURDEV SINGH Present:- Mr. S.S.Siao, Advocate, for the petitioner. Gurdev Singh, J (oral) Heard. The petitioner, Khushi Ram @ Kalu, who is undergoing sentence of imprisonment for 10 years after having been convicted for the offences under Sections 394 and 412 read with Section 34 IPC has filed the present writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, for directing the respondents to release him on emergency parole for four weeks under Section 3 of the Haryana Good Conduct Prisoners (Temporary Release) Act, 1988 to attend the Jagran at his house, which is to be held on 12/13.4.2011 in connection with his marriage which took place about one year back. According to learned counsel for the petitioner, the petitioner is entitled to be released on parole under Section 3(1)(d) of the Act. As per that clause a prisoner can be released on parole if it is desirable to do so for any sufficient reason. The attending of the Jagran, may be in connection with the marriage of the petitioner himself, cannot be said to be a sufficient cause for releasing him on parole. There is no merit in the writ petition and the same is hereby dismissed. April 7, 2011 (Gurdev Singh) tripti Judge
