3 The application of the petitioner for parole came to be rejected on three grounds. The first ground is that if the petitioner is released on parole, there would be danger to the lives of the witnesses and relations of the deceased. The second ground is that co-accused Vijay alias Bablu Sanjay Jawir was released from prison, however, he absconded and did not report back to the prison in time. The third ground is that when the co-prisoner of the petitioner by name Sunil Dongale was released from prison, he was murdered. As far as the first ground is concerned, we find that there is no objective material to reach this conclusion. As far as the second ground is concerned, the fact that the co-accused did not report back to the prison in time, would be no ground to deny parole to the petitioner. As far as the third ground is concerned, also we find no merit in the same. It would be pertinent to refer to the police report of Dy. S.P. Kolhapur. It states that the reason given by the petitioner for seeking parole is found to be true. Moreover, the surety proposed by the petitioner is found to be fit and competent. In this view of the matter, we are inclined to grant parole to the petitioner. Hence, the following order is passed:
