- Disposal
- 44-PARTLY ALLOWED @ FH
Holding
The court allowed the parole application on a reduced term of 21 days, subject to a Rs.15,000 personal bond, surety, reporting conditions, and no further extensions.
Summary
The petitioner, Thakor Kalpeshji, applied to the Gujarat High Court for an extension of parole leave for 30 days. The court noted that the applicant waived service of the rule on behalf of the State and examined the grounds and circumstances presented. Exercising its discretion, the court found merit in granting parole but reduced the period to 21 days. It ordered the applicant to furnish a personal bond of Rs.15,000 with an equal surety, to report to the police station every alternate day, and to surrender at the end of the parole period. The court also ruled that no further reduction of the bond amount would be entertained and that no further extensions of parole would be permitted.
Issues considered
- Whether the applicant is entitled to parole leave for the period sought
- Whether the court may impose conditions such as bond, surety, and reporting requirements
- Whether the amount of personal bond can be reduced
