Case brief
AI extract
What is this about?
The High Court of Judicature at Bombay, in Criminal Writ Petition No. 1542 of 2008, quashed an order rejecting the petitioner's parole application. The bench held that despite police concerns, the petitioner's 15-year clean record on bail indicated a lack of real danger to witnesses or the complainant, driving a finding of non-application of mind. Parole was granted.
What did the court decide?
The impugned order rejecting the parole application was quashed and the petitioner was directed to be released forthwith on parole on usual conditions.
