The State of Gujarat, represented by the Additional Public Prosecutor, waived service of notice. The High Court, after hearing counsel for both sides, examined the petitioner's request and the jail remarks. Exercising its discretion, the Court found merit in the application and ordered parole. The petitioner was directed to furnish a personal bond of Rs.10,000 and released on parole for seven days, with a condition to surrender after the period, and the petition was partly allowed.
