Holding
The court partially allowed the application, granting parole for 21 days with a Rs.25,000 personal bond and surety, subject to specified conditions and no further extension.
Summary
The petitioner, Sanjaybhai Ghanshyambhai Vasava, filed a special criminal application seeking parole leave for 30 days. The respondent State of Gujarat waived service of the rule. After considering the applicant's grounds and the case circumstances, the court exercised its discretion in favor of the applicant but limited the relief. The application was partially allowed, granting parole for 21 days upon furnishing a personal bond of Rs.25,000 with an equal surety, subject to conditions that the applicant not enter the local limits of Dabhoi Police Station except for daily presence marking, and must surrender to jail authorities at the end of the period. The court refused any reduction of the bond amount and clarified that no further extension of parole would be entertained.
Issues considered
- Whether the applicant is entitled to parole leave for the period sought
- Whether the court may reduce the amount of personal bond and surety
- What conditions may be imposed on the grant of parole
