2 The petitioner had preferred an application for parole
on 27.11.2015 on the ground of illness of his mother. The said application was granted by Home Deptt. by order dated 17.6.2016. Pursuant to the said order, the petitoiner was released on 2.7.2016 on parole for a period of 30 days. Thereafter the petitioner preferred applications for extension of parole. The first application seeking extension of parole for a period of 30 days is preferred on 13.7.2016. Thereafter he preferred another application for extension of parole on 12.8.2016 seeking extension of parole for a further period of 30 days i.e. extension was sought till 29.9.2016. The said applications came to be rejected on the ground that it is not necessary to grant extension of parole on the ground of illness of the mother of the petitioner, hence, this petition. 3 The order of rejection clearly shows that the mother of the petitioner was suffering from cancer stage-3 and she was operated for the same. Thereafter she was required to undergo treatment. But as she was undergoing treatment for a long time, the authorities felt it was not fit case to grant extension of 2 of 4 ::: Uploaded on - 16/06/2017 ::: Downloaded on - 17/06/2017 00:58:13 ::: jdk 3 22.crwp.1899.17.j.doc parole.
4 Ms. Dandekar, the learned counsel for the petitioner pointed out that the order of rejection shows that the mother of the petitoiner was suffering from cancer. As stated earlier, the rejection order itself shows that the mother of the petitioner was suffering from cancer stage-3 and she was operated for the same. The medical report of the cancer research hospital at Raigad shows that the mother of the petitioner was required to undergo radiation for a period of over one year. The nominal Jail Chart of the petitioner shows that on 14.8.2014 and 29.3.2016 he was released on furlough and on both the occasions he reported back to the prison on his own. On 12.3.2015 also the petitioner was released on furlough and he reported back to the prison on his own though one day late. The petitioner was also released on parole on 6.9.2013 and he has reported back to the prison on the due date. 5 Looking to all the above facts and the good conduct of the petitioner in jail, we are of the opinion that on humanitarian ground the period of parole should be extended upto 3 of 4 ::: Uploaded on - 16/06/2017 ::: Downloaded on - 17/06/2017 00:58:13 ::: jdk 4 22.crwp.1899.17.j.doc 29.9.2016. Accordingly, the parole period is extended upto 29.9.2016. Prison punishment imposed if any, for over stay, is set aside.
6 Rule is made absolute in above terms. Petition is disposed of.
