Holding
The court exercised its discretion and granted parole for seven days upon the petitioner furnishing a personal bond of Rs.10,000.
Summary
The petitioner, Rajnikant Karsanbhai Parmar, filed a special criminal application seeking parole leave on the ground that he needed to provide financial assistance to his family. The State of Gujarat, represented by the Additional Public Prosecutor, waived service of notice. The court considered the petitioner's averments and the jail remarks, focusing on the discretionary power to grant parole. It found that the financial assistance ground justified a temporary release. Accordingly, the court ordered parole for seven days, subject to a personal bond of Rs.10,000 and standard conditions, with a direction to surrender after the period. The order was made absolute and direct service was permitted.
Issues considered
- Whether the petitioner is entitled to parole leave on the ground of financial assistance to his family
