JUSTICE B M SHYAM PRASAD ORAL ORDER The petitioner is convicted for offences punishable under the Indian Penal Code, 1860 and Arms Act, 1959 and his application for parole is rejected by the second respondent by the impugned endorsement dated 05.08.2025. The second respondent has rejected the application because the petitioner stands trial in two proceedings viz., CC No.67/2017 and CC No. 228/2017 on the file of the Principal Civil Judge and JMFC, Ramanagara. It cannot be gainsaid that if the petitioner stands trial, that would be a condition against grant of parole in terms of the Karnataka Prisons and Correctional Services Manual - 2021. As such, the petition stands disposed of. SD/- (B M SHYAM PRASAD) JUDGE NV
