Date : 15.7.2008 HON'BLE MR. PRAKASH TATIA, J. HON'BLE MR. C.M. TOTLA, J. By Post. Mr.JPS Choudhary, PP. - - - - - Heard. The petitioner/convict has already served sentence for 9 years 11 months and 9 days as on 2.7.2008. He sought his release on first parole only, for which, as per Rules, he could have applied after completion of 1/4th of his sentence. The petitioner's parole application was allowed by the decision taken in the meeting held on 24.11.2006. He was asked to submit 2 separate bail bonds to the tune of Rs.10,000/- each and also a personal bond of Rs.10,000/- was demanded from him. The petitioner is behind bars since November, 2006 because he could not obtain any surety who can submit 2 D.B. Criminal (Parole) Writ Petition No.3733/2008 Dhera Ram. vs. State of Rajasthan. bond of even Rs.10,000/- for him. Therefore, it appears that the petitioner is behind bars because of his poverty only. Since the petitioner has already served substantial part of his sentence, therefore, we deem it proper to direct the authorities to grant parole for 20 days to the petitioner on furnishing his personal bond of Rs.20,000/- instead of personal bond of Rs.10,000/- and without demanding any separate surety or bond in pursuance to the decision dated 24.11.2006. Rest of the conditions which may have been imposed by the authorities shall continue. Consequently, this parole petition is allowed. (C.M. TOTLA), J. (PRAKASH TATIA), J. S.Phophaliya
