CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ASHUTOSH KUMAR O R D E R % 07.12.2015

The prayer of the petitioner for being released on parole was rejected on 09.07.2015 by the competent authority for the purposes of searching a suitable life partner for his daughter, who has become of marriageable age and as also to reconnect social ties with the family members and society.

The adverse police report regarding the possibility of the petitioner of committing crime in case he is released on parole weighed heavily with the competent authority. The competent authority has also taken note of the fact that the petitioner had last availed of two weeks of furlough uptill 17.3.2015 by the order of DG (P).

The status report affirms that the petitioner has home and hearth and that one of his daughters namely, Komal, is of marriageable age. The nominal roll of the petitioner reveals that he has remained in custody for

about 8 years and his overall conduct in jail has been satisfactory. On many occasions he has been released on furlough and parole and no occasion has he breached any of the conditions on which he was released or has acted against law.
