Orders. Shri A.M.Kukde,Advocate for appellant Smt. Nandita Tripati, A.P.P. For respondent CORAM : MRS. V.K.TAHILRAMANI & M.L.TAHALIYANI, JJ DATE : 26.04.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State. The petitioner had preferred an application for parole. His application for parole is rejected by order dated 25.11.2010. Being aggrieved thereby the petitioner preferred the present petition wherein he has prayed that he be granted parole. It is noticed that on the earlier occasion that the petitioner was released on parole, he did not report back in time. There was overstay on his part of 96 days. It is further noticed that even after 96 days the petitioner did not surrender back to prison on his own, but he had to be arrested by the police and brought 2 back to prison. Looking to the conduct of the petitioner, the concerned authorities apprehended that if the petitioner is again released on parole, he will abscond. Looking to the past record of the petitioner it cannot be said that there was no basis for the concerned authorities to have the said apprehension in their mind. Looking to the past record of the petitioner we cannot find any error in the action of the authorities rejecting the application of the petitioner for parole. Hence petition is rejected. However, it is made clear that if the petitioner prefers any fresh application for parole, the same be considered on its own merit. The fees of the appointed Advocate are quantified at Rs 750/-. Office to communicate this order to the petitioner who is in Nagpur Central Prison. Writ petition disposed of. JUDGE JUDGE scd
