Petitioner is seeking parole for the reasons as mentioned in the petition. The application of the petitioner had been rejected by the competent authority for the reason that as for the parole guidelines (11.1 of Parole/Furlough Guidelines 2010) the convict must have served at least one year in prison excluding any period covered by remission before he can be considered for parole; the petitioner had not fulfilled this criteria. Learned counsel for the petitioner points out that as on date this position is factually incorrect and this is clear from the nominal roll.
Issues for consideration
1 issue framed by the court
