Case brief
AI extract
What is this about?
In a criminal miscellany petition, the petitioner-prisoner challenged the denial of parole, arguing it amounted to double jeopardy since he had already been punished for jumping parole previously. The court held that parole could not be denied for the entire sentence term on this premise.
What did the court decide?
The impugned order denying parole was set aside; the competent authority directed to pass an order afresh within one month.
