I have heard the counsels for the parties, besides perusing the record with due care and circumspection.

It is on this ground that the parole prayer of the petitioner has been rejected vide Annexure P-1 by the Commissioner of Division Gurgaon, Gurgaon. By now, the petitioner has undergone more than one year of the actual sentence after his conviction. Such, being the CRM No. M 7527 of 2009 (O & M) -2- circumstances, the impugned order dated Annexure P-1 is hereby set aside.
