The District Magistrate, as stated by Mr. G. D. Bhatt, has refused the parole on the ground that the prisoner has been committed to the jail only&#8217; recently and as such the application for parole cannot be granted. It is hardly a reason for refusal of parole. The Government of Gujarat, by its notifications, viz. Home Department Noti.No.Misc-1055\/2064-J, Sachivalaya, Ahmedabad, dt. 31-12-1968 and Home Department No.Misc. 1065\/2064-J\/8-8-69, Sachivalaya, Gandhinagar, have given certain guidelines for the purpose of releasing the prisoners on parole. The District Magistrate can do well if he follows such guidelines and decides the matter on merits. The present refusal of the parole is on extraneous ground and as such it cannot be sustained. Hence, we direct the District Magistrate to consider the parole asked for by the prisoner in accordance with the guiding principles given by the Government of Gujarat for the release of prisoners on parole. With these observations, this Special Criminal Application is ordered accordingly. Rule discharged.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gujarat High Court Babubhai Ukabhai vs The State Of Gujarat And Ors. on 30 July, 1986 Equivalent citations: 1987 CriLJ 1786, (1987) 2 GLR 887 Author: Gukulakrishnan Bench: P Gokulakrishnan, R Mehta JUDGMENT Gukulakrishnan, C.J. 1.
