Order 04/03/2025
1. Accused-petitioner has filed this Criminal Writ Petition (Parole) seeking regular parole for a period of 40 days.
2. It is contended by counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner was released on parole on various occasions and after completion of parole period, the petitioner has surrendered before the jail authorities. It is further contended that parole application of the petitioner was rejected on the ground that the Superintendent of Police has given an adverse report against the
(2 of 3) [CRLW-112/2025] petitioner. It is further contended that the petitioner has remained in custody for a period of more than ten years. His jail conduct as per the report of the Superintendent, District Jail is satisfactory and there was no justification in rejecting his parole application.
3. Learned Additional Government Advocate has opposed the writ petition. It is contended that Superintendent of Police has reported that the case in which the petitioner is undergoing sentence is of serious nature and if he is released on parole, it may affect the society as well as the complainant also.
4. In counter to the above, counsel for the petitioner further submitted that the report of the social welfare department is in favour of the petitioner and the jail conduct of the petitioner as reported by the Superintendent, District Jail is also satisfactory.
