(Oral) The petitioner has been in jail for the last more than 5-1/2 years. Not once, the petitioner has been released on parole. An application was made by the petitioner for release on parole for house repairs. The prayer has been declined on the ground that the District Magistrate, Churu (Rajasthan), had not recommended the release of the petitioner on the apprehension of breach of peace. Considering the fact that the petitioner has been in jail for more than 5-1/2 years and the ground taken is not substantiated by any material or evidence, this petition is allowed. The petitioner would be released on parole for four weeks, however, subject to heavy surety. August 13, 2008 ( AJAI LAMBA ) Kang JUDGE
