JUSTICE ILESH J. VORA Date : 05/06/2026 ORAL ORDER 1. The applicant, who has been sentenced to undergo 03 years imprisonment, has filed present application through jail for releasing him on parole leave as the competent authority has rejected his parole application. 2. The convict is claiming parole leave on the grounds mentioned in the application. 3. Record indicates that application of parole leave has been rejected as there is apprehension of breach of peace and jumping the parole. 4. It is settled law that the grant of parole is not a right vested with the prisoner and is rather a privilege available to the prisoner on fulfilling certain conditions. This is a discretionary power which has to be exercised by the authorities conferred with such powers under the provisions of the Prisons (Bombay Furlough and Parole) Rules, 1959. R/SCR.A/7684/2026 ORDER DATED: 05/06/2026 5. Having regard to the grounds mentioned in the application for parole, jail remarks and reason for rejecting parole leave by the authority, this Court does not find any infirmity with the order passed by the authority while rejecting the claim of the prisoner for grant of parole. Consequently, the application deserves to be dismissed and same is accordingly dismissed. (ILESH J. VORA,J) TAUSIF SAIYED Original copy of this order has been signed by the Hon'ble Judge.
