Mr. Prakash Jaiswal, Advocate for the petitioner, Mr. S.S. Doifode, APP for the respondents. .......... CORAM : K.J. ROHEE AND A.B. CHAUDHARI, JJ DATED : APRIL 21, 2008 1. The petitioner seeks parole for 60 days on account of serious illness of his mother. 2. On 4.11.2007 the petitioner applied for parole on the said ground. On 14.1.2008 the Superintendent of Police, Buldhana gave no objection for releasing the petitioner for the treatment of his mother. However, by order dated 26.2.2008 the competent authority rejected the application on the ground that the mother of the petitioner was treated in Out Patient Department and there is no need to release the petitioner. The petitioner has challenged the said order. 2 3. A bare perusal of the reason mentioned in the impugned order dated 26.2.2008 clearly shows that the mother of the petitioner is being treated in Out Patient Department. It is thus obvious that there is no serious illness as required under rule 19 of the Prison (Bombay Furlough and Parole) Rules, 1959. Thus, the competent authority was perfectly justified in rejecting the application of the petitioner for parole. We see no reason to interfere in the order. Hence, we pass the following order : The petition is dismissed. JUDGE JUDGE GULANDE
