Holding
The court exercised its discretion and granted parole for seven days on the condition of a Rs.10,000 personal bond.
Summary
Parshkumaar Gordhanji Parmar, a convicted prisoner, filed a parole application seeking temporary release to provide financial assistance to his family. The Additional Public Prosecutor waived service of notice on behalf of the State. The High Court considered the applicant's financial need and jail remarks, and exercised its discretion in his favour. The court partially allowed the petition, granting parole for seven days upon the petitioner furnishing a personal bond of Rs.10,000 to the jail authority. The order also directed the petitioner to surrender at the end of the parole period.
Issues considered
- What is the appropriate exercise of judicial discretion in granting parole on the ground of financial assistance to the applicant's family?
- Does the waiver of service of notice by the Additional Public Prosecutor affect the validity of the parole application?
