(2 of 3) [CRLW-787/2021] It has been submitted in the petition that the learned Additional Sessions Judge No.2, Behror Alwar vide its order dt.3.2.2020 convicted the petitioner for the offence under Sections 498A and 304B of IPC and sentenced to 10 years imprisonment. Out of which the accused petitioner has served six years ten months and 18 days on 8.4.2021.
It has further been submitted that the petitioner had served 6 years, 10 months and 8 days of imprisonment out of the total sentence of 10 years till 8.4.2021. The conduct of the petitioner has remained absolutely good and he is continuously getting remission in jail on the basis of his good conduct and behavior. Thus, he is entitled to be released on permanent parole.
In the reply, it is submitted that the case of the petitioner was placed before State Level Parole Advisory Committee but the same has been rejected on the ground that the petitioner has not availed three regular paroles, although there is no specific period of sentence for eligibility of permanent parole. It has further been submitted that after availing three regular paroles, his case will be considered for permanent parole.
Heard learned counsel for the parties and carefully perused the record.
Issue raised, in the instant case, is no longer res-integra. In the case of Suresh & Others Vs. State of Rajasthan, reported in 2011 (3) WLC 643, Division Bench of this Court had held that on the technical ground that the petitioner has not availed three permanent paroles is not a good ground to deny the parole until some adverse material is brought on record that if the petitioner is released on parole, the same will cause disturbance in the society.
