D. B. CRIMINAL PAROLE WRIT PETITION NO.4507/2008 MELA RAM V. THE STATE OF RAJASTHAN. DATE : 04-08-2008 HON'BLE MR. PRAKASH TATIA, J. HON'BLE MR. C. M. TOTLA, J. By Post. Mr. V. R.Mehta, PP., for the State. Heard. By this petition, convict Mela Ram s/o. Shri Surjan, who was convicted for the offence under the provisions of the NDPS Act, has submitted petition to challenge respondent's order dated 15th May, 2007, by which his prayer for release on parole for 20 days was rejected. We perused the reasons given in the said impugned order dated 15th May, 2007, as well as the comments of the Narcotics Department dated 12th February, 2007. It appears that the petitioner has already served the sentence for six years, ten months and 18 days by 3rd July, 2008. His parole application has been rejected only on the ground that in case he is released on parole, he may involve again in the same illegal trade. The parole application has been rejected only on the ground of imaginary reasons and without looking to the conduct of the petitioner in the jail, the reasons given in the impugned order cannot be sustained. In view of the above reasons, we are of the view that the petition deserves to be allowed. Hence, the parole petition is allowed and the petitioner be released on parole for 20 days on his submitting personal bond of Rs.30,000/- and two sureties of Rs.15,000/- each and other just and appropriate conditions determined by the Superintendent, Central Jail, Ajmer to his own satisfaction. The Superintendent, Central Jail, Ajmer will also give a date for surrender. (C. M. TOTLA), J. (PRAKASH TATIA), J.
