The petitioner has even stated that his wife is unwell and otherwise he is to get his house repaired therefore, taking note of these facts also benefit of first parole may be given to him. 2) Respondent has filed its detailed reply wherein it has been submitted that petitioner has already undergone 4 years, 1 month & 20 days sentence including remission as on 17/12/2007 itself and thus eligible for consideration of first parole as per Rules of 1958. It was further submitted that pursuant to the order passed by this Court dated 17/5/2007 in S.B.C.W.P. No.290/2007, case of the petitioner was considered in the meeting held on 11/9/2007 and as there was adverse report, the District Parole Advisory Committee did not find it to be a fit case to give him benefit of parole. Respondent was directed to bring the record showing SBCWP (PAROLE) 10410/07. 2 adversity in the record of the petitioner and accordingly the learned Government Counsel brought the record but perusal of the record could not show anything serious against the petitioner except that petitioner does not carry good faith.
