Order 11/10/2018
1. The instant petition has been filed by the petitioner- father of Mahipal Singh, who is languishing in Central Jail, Ajmer, being convicted and sentenced for the offence punishable under Sections 363, 366, 376(Jha) of IPC and Sections 3/4, 7 /8 of POCSO Act.
2. The Parole Committee has rejected the application on the ground of adverse police report.
3. This Court has considered the decision of District Parole Advisory Committee rejecting the parole claimed. The convict has already undergone a sentence of 04 years & 06 months. It is pertinent to note that the petitioner does not suffer from any ineligibility for his release on parole as prescribed under Rule 14 (2 of 2) [CRLW-349/2018] of the Rajasthan Prisoners Release on Parole Rules, 1958. More so, Ipsi dixit reason of adverse police report cannot be a ground for refusing parole. It is well settled that parole is a device for reformation of a criminal for his rehabilitation in society. The object of parole can't be frustrated on the basis of vague and ill- founded reasons.
5. Accordingly, this petition is allowed. The respondents are directed to release convict- Mahipal Singh S/o. Sh. Raghuveer Singh to avail 20 days first parole as per provisions of the Rules of 1958 provided he furnish two sureties in a sum of Rs.25,000/- each and a personal-bond of Rs.50,000/- to the satisfaction of Superintendent, Central Jail, Ajmer. The Superintendent, Central Jail concerned will give a date for surrender of convict and shall also be at liberty to impose other reasonable and adequate conditions to ensure his return to the State custody after availing the parole. A copy of this order may be sent to the convict.
