ORAL JUDGMENT (Per : SMT. VASANTI A NAIK, J.)
Rule. Rule made returnable forthwith. The criminal writ

the application of the petitioner for grant of parole leave for the
treatment of his mother.
On hearing the learned counsel for the parties and on perusal
of the impugned order as also the police vigilance report dated 7-4-2017,
it appears that a case is made out by the petitioner for grant of parole
leave. It appears from the police verification report that the relative of
the petitioner who is ready to furnish surety would be able to keep
control over the petitioner. It is further observed in the report that in
Police Station, Ramtek no offence is registered against the petitioner and
the medical certificate shows that the mother of the petitioner is being
treated in Dr. Permanand Nikhade Sub District Hospital, Ramtek. Since
the petitioner appears to be the only son, who could look after his mother
who is taking treatment in Dr. Permanand Nikhade Sub District Hospital,
Ramtek, it would be necessary to grant parole leave to the petitioner.
The observation in the impugned order that since the mother of the
petitioner is not seriously ill, the parole leave should be refused does not
appear to be correct.
In this view of the matter, by allowing the criminal writ
petition, we direct the respondents to release the petitioner on parole
leave within 7 days from the date on which the petitioner furnishes the

surety as required by the rules.
The professional fees of the learned counsel for the petitioner
are quantified at Rs. 1,500/-. Order accordingly.
