Holding
The application for parole leave was rejected.
Summary
Govindbhai Boghbai Kadiya applied for parole leave, citing the need to provide financial assistance to his family. The respondent, the State of Gujarat, was represented by Ms. Jirga Jhaveri, who highlighted that the applicant had recently been granted a 14‑day furlough leave from 6 December 2025 to 19 December 2026. The Court considered whether the applicant’s recent furlough precluded the exercise of discretion in favor of parole. Finding no fresh ground to justify parole and noting the recent furlough, the Court declined to grant the relief. Consequently, the application for parole leave was rejected.
Issues considered
- Whether the applicant is entitled to parole leave on the ground of financial assistance to family despite having recently been released on furlough leave.
Subjects
- parole
- special criminal application
- furlough leave
- discretion
- financial assistance
