Sunder Singh .....Petitioner
Versus
State of Haryana ...Respondent
****
CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S. D. ANAND
Present: Mr. V.S.Rana,Advocate for the petitioner
Mr. S.S.Mor,Senior Deputy Advocate General, Haryana
S. D. ANAND, J.
The request made by the petitioner for his release on
parole to get his house repaired was declined by the Divisional
Commissioner, Hisar Division, Hisar, with the observation that
“convict’s father is able to do the repair of the house”. That finding is
based upon a report made by Superintendent of Police, Hisar.
The premise for declining the request is plainly illogical.
There is no averment that there is no house in the name of
petitioner-prisoner. That being so, it is he only who is entitled to
raise a claim for his release on parole to be able to effect the repair
of his house.
The petition shall stand allowed. The petitioner-prisoner
is allowed parole for four weeks to get his house repaired.
