has recommended release of petitioner on parole. His jail conduct is satisfactory and there was no justification in rejecting his parole application.

¶19

Learned GA-cum-AAG has opposed the writ petition. It is contended that Superintendent of Police has reported that the case in which the petitioner is undergoing sentence is of serious nature and if he is released on parole, it may affect the society as well as the complainant also.

¶20

We have considered the contentions advanced by counsel for the parties and perused the material came on record. 5. Considering the fact that the petitioner has remained in custody for a period of more than eight years; thus as per the Rajasthan Prisoners on Parole Rules, 1958, he is entitled for second regular parole; his jail conduct is satisfactory; no documentary evidence in support of adverse police report has been placed on record to deny the prayer for grant of second regular parole, hence in these facts and circumstances as well as the material before us, we deem it proper to allow the present writ petition (parole) and set aside the order/recommendations dated 26.05.2025.

¶21

Criminal Writ Petition (Parole) is accordingly allowed. The order/recommendation of the Parole Advisory Committee dated 26.05.2025 qua the present petitioner is quashed. The Jail Authorities are directed to release the petitioner on second regular parole for a period of 30 days on furnishing of his personal bond of Rs.50,000/- with two sureties of like amount to the satisfaction of the Superintendent Central Jail, Sewar, Bharatpur (Raj.) with the stipulation that he shall surrender himself before the Jail
