Order
02/02/2021 This parole petition has been filed under Article 226 of
the Constitution of India with the prayer that the petitioner be
released on first regular parole for 20 days.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the
petitioner was convicted by the trial court vide judgment dated
30/3/2017 and sentenced to undergo life imprisonment. The
petitioner filed a D.B. Criminal Appeal No.831/2017 before this
Court against his conviction and sentence awarded by the trial
court, which is pending adjudication. The petitioner filed an
application for first regular parole of 20 days before the District
Parole Advisory Committee, but the same has been rejected vide
(2 of 3) [CRLW-115/2021]
order dated 1/1/2021. He further submits that the petitioner has
served more than 5 years of his sentence with remission.
Therefore, in view of Rule 9 of the Rajasthan Prisoners Release on
Parole Rules, 1958, the petitioner is entitled to be released on first
regular parole of 20 days. Although SP Sawaimadhopur has not
recommended to release the petitioner on first regular parole, but
the Social Welfare and Empowerment Department has
recommended to release the petitioner on first parole.
In the reply, it is submitted that 11 cases have been
registered against the petitioner in different Police Stations and if
he is released on parole, he may jump from parole.
Heard learned counsel for the parties and carefully
perused the record.
The purpose of parole is to facilitate family ties being
maintained.
Needless to say that in case the petitioner engages
himself in any untoward incident during first regular parole of 20
days, same can be withdrawn and the petitioner can be called
upon to serve his remaining sentence.
Considering the purpose of parole as also the period
already served by the petitioner, we deem it just and proper to
grant the petitioner first parole of 20 days.
Accordingly, the writ petition is allowed and the
impugned order dated 1/1/2021 qua the petitioner stands
quashed and set aside. We direct the concerned District Authority
to release the convict-petitioner on first regular parole of 20 days,
subject to his furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs.
1,00,000/- with two local sureties of Rs. 50,000/-each to the
(3 of 3) [CRLW-115/2021]
satisfaction of the concerned District Magistrate with the
stipulation that in case during first parole of 20 days, the
petitioner commits any undesirable activity, he can be called upon
to serve his remaining sentence and at the same time he shall
also maintain peace and tranquility during the parole period and
will abide by any other condition imposed by the authority
concerned.
