No. 2851 of 2011 Date of decision:23.12.2011 Poonam ........Petitioner Versus State of Haryana and others ........Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RANJAN GOGOI CHIEF JUSTICE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT Present: Mr. Surender Deswal, Advocate, for the petitioner RANJAN GOGOI, CJ. : (Oral) At the request of the Court Mr. R.K.S.Brar, Additional Advocate General, Haryana has entered appearance and is representing the respondents. The only prayer in the writ petition is for a direction to consider the application filed by the petitioner for grant of parole to enable her to undertake house repair-cum-construction. The said representation/application has been submitted to the Director General of Prisons through Superintendent of the District Jail, Gurgaon where the writ petitioner is presently lodged following her conviction under Section 302 I.P.C. As the purpose for which the parole sought is one of the specified purposes mentioned under the norms in force, if the petitioner meets the other conditions of eligibility, her request for grant of parole would require a fair consideration. We, therefore, dispose of this writ petition by directing due and proper consideration of the application/representation of the -2- writ petitioner for grant of parole submitted to the Director General of Prisons on 15.11.2011. Such consideration will be completed by means of a reasoned order by the said authority within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of this order. This will dispose of the writ petition.
