Criminal Misc. No. M-17219 of 2009 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH **** Criminal Misc. No. M-17219 of 2009 (O&M) Date of Decision:02.07.2009 Surinderpal .....Petitioner Vs. The State of Punjab and another .....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HARBANS LAL Present:- Mr. B.S. Kathuria, Advocate for the petitioner. **** HARBANS LAL, J. This petition has been moved under Section 482 of Cr.P.C seeking extension of parole for a period of four weeks in case FIR No.220 dated 6.9.2001 under Section 15 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 at Police Station Banga, District Nawanshahr. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. He has submitted that as is borne out from Annexure P.4, Sarabjit Kaur, wife of the petitioner came with bleeding in Iqbal Nursing Home and Hospital, Ludhiana and the scan showed on 29.6.2009 that there was thickened endometrium and advised her hospitalisation urgently. In such circumstances, the presence of the petitioner by the side of his wife is very much essential and that being so, his existing parole period may be extended for another four weeks. I regret my inability to be one with Mr. Kathuria. The petitioner has not disclosed any reason as to why Sarabjit Kaur was not got Criminal Misc. No. M-17219 of 2009 -2- operated upon during the existing parole period. In Annexure P.4, it has been mentioned that she got scanning on 30.6.2008 and was advised surgery. She visited the same Nursing Home after about one year. To me, it appears that it is a clever device of the petitioner to get his parole period extended. Consequently, this petition being bereft of any merit is dismissed. July 02, 2009 ( HARBANS LAL ) renu JUDGE Whether to be referred to the Reporter? Yes/No
