Criminal Misc. No.M-4626 of 2009(O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH **** Criminal Misc. No.M-4626 of 2009(O&M) Date of Decision:17.02.2009 Inderjit Singh .....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. **** JUDGMENT HARBANS LAL, J. This petition has been moved by Inderjit Singh under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure seeking extension of his parole for a period of six weeks in case FIR No.159/2002 registered under Section 15 of The Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 at Police Station City Khanna, District Ludhiana. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner has maintained that Kuldeep Kaur wife of the petitioner is suffering from chest pain and HTN/IHD and she has been referred to Medical College Hospital for further investigation and there being none else to look after her, the parole of the petitioner may be extended. This contention does not find favour with me. Annexure P.1 purportedly issued by the Medical Officer, Civil Hospital, Khanna is absolutely silent that Kuldeep Kaur requires her by-pass surgery. Furthermore, there is nothing on the record to show that there is none else to look after her. I lament to lay on the record that it has been observed that Criminal Misc. No.M-4626 of 2009(O&M) -2- not only in one case but in number of cases that as and when a convict is released on parole, he manages extension of his such parole on one pretext or the other. It requires to be curbed . Prima-facie no case is made out for extension of parole of the petitioner. Sequelly, this petition is dismissed.
