The State of Punjab and another .....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HARBANS LAL Present:- Mr. B.S. Kathuria, Advocate for the petitioner. **** JUDGMENT HARBANS LAL, J. This petition has been moved by Tara Singh under Section 482 of Cr.P.C seeking extension of his parole for a period of four weeks in case FIR No.96 dated 6.10.2004 registered under Sections 302/201/34 IPC at Police Station Rahon. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. He has submitted that the son of the petitioner, namely, Sukhwinder Singh along with his wife Jagjit Kaur and minor son Inderjit Singh have met with the accident on 2.12.2008 as they were hit by truck and his daughter-in-law Jagjit Kaur as well as Inderjit Singh have died at the spot whereas his son received grievous injuries and the matter has been reported to the police. He further puts that son of the petitioner is still getting the treatment on account of his injuries and none is in the family to look after him. This apart, various religious ceremonies are to be carried out for the departed soul. The petitioner is to surrender on 13.1.2009. In case the extension of Criminal Misc. No.M-749 of 2009 (O&M) -2- the parole is not granted, the family members of the petitioner will face great hardship. The petitioner in his affidavit appended to this petition has not stated that there is no other member of the family to look after Sukhwinder Singh. The wife of the petitioner can look after him. The copy of the FIR allegedly registered with Police Station City Nawashahr has also not been placed on the record. In these circumstances, no prima-facie case is made out for grant of extension of parole sought for. Sequelly, this petition is dismissed.
