3. The application of the petitioner for parole came to be rejected on the ground that he has been convicted under Sections 392 and 395 of IPC. Rule 4(2) of The Prisons (Bombay Furlough and Parole) Rules, 1959 states that the prisoners convicted of the offences under Section 392 to 402 (both inclusive) of the IPC are not entitled to be released on furlough. Thereafter, by another notification dated 26.8.2016, it is stated that those prisoners who cannot be released on furlough would not be eligible to be released on parole, hence, the application of the petitioner came to be rejected.
