- SANJEEV THAKER
Holding
The Court exercised its discretion and granted the petitioner parole for seven days upon furnishing a personal bond of Rs.10,000.
Summary
The petitioner, Arunkumar Rameshkumaar Ravat, filed a special criminal application seeking parole leave on the ground that he had filed an appeal against his conviction. The Additional Public Prosecutor waived service of the petition on behalf of the State of Gujarat. The High Court, after hearing counsel for both parties, considered the petitioner's request and the relevant jail remarks. Exercising its discretion, the Court found merit in the petition and ordered parole. The petition was partly allowed, granting the petitioner a seven‑day parole on condition of furnishing a personal bond of Rs.10,000 and surrendering to the jail authority at the end of the period.
Issues considered
- Whether the petitioner is entitled to parole leave pending the filing of an appeal
- Whether the waiver of service by the Additional Public Prosecutor affects the Court's discretion to grant parole
- Whether the conditions imposed (bond and surrender) are appropriate under the law
