Accused-petitioner has filed this Criminal Writ Petition (Parole) seeking first regular parole for a period of 7 days under Rule 18 of the Parole Rules, 1958. 2.

His jail conduct as per the report of the [2025:RJ-JP:4042-DB] (2 of 3) [CRLW-2072/2024] Superintendent, Central Jail, Kota is satisfactory and there was no justification in rejecting his parole application. 3.

Considering the fact that the petitioner has remained in custody for a period of more than eleven years and the Probation Officer has recommended for release of the petitioner on parole; thus as per the Rajasthan Prisoners Release on Parole Rules, 1958, he is entitled for parole; his jail conduct is satisfactory; no documentary evidence in support of adverse police report has been placed on record to deny the prayer for grant of parole, hence, in these facts and circumstances as well as the material placed before us, we deem it proper to allow the present writ petition (parole) and set aside the order/recommendations dated 20.02.2024/ 26.02.2024 qua the petitioner.
