HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE MUKTA GUPTA
02.08.2011 By this petition the Petitioner seeks parole for filirm SLP. The appeal ofthe Petitioner was dismissed by this Court on 28th December, 2010.
On notice being issued, a status report has been filed which verifies the fact that the Petitioner's wife along with her four children is staying at
Azadpur and running a grocery shop. Apprehension has been expressed by the SHO, PS Model Town that in case the Petitioner is released on parole he may jump the parole.
However, looking into the fact that the Petitioner has already undergone the substantial portion of the sentence and only three months of the sentence remain to be undergone, I am not inclined to grant parole to the
Petitioner at this stage.
Petition is dismissed.
Petitioner be informed of the order through the Superintendent, Tihar
