Holding
Parole leave was denied because the petitioner had previously absconded during furlough and his conduct in jail was unsatisfactory.
Summary
The petitioner, Faridbhai Ismailbhai Makrani, applied for a 30‑day parole leave to repair his house and support his family. He is convicted under Section 302 read with Section 114 of the Indian Penal Code for murder. The court noted that he previously absconded for 2,798 days after being released on furlough in April 2013, leading to a forfeiture of seven future furlough leaves and a punitive jail term. Additionally, his conduct in prison was deemed unsatisfactory. Considering these factors, the court found no merit in granting parole and rejected the application.
Issues considered
- Whether the petitioner is eligible for parole leave despite prior absconding during furlough and unsatisfactory prison conduct
Legislation cited
- Indian Penal Code, 1860s. 114, s. 302
