KARNAIL SINGH Vs. STATE OF HARYANA

JUDGEMENT

(1.) TEMPORARY release on parole for 42 days is sought on the ground of agricultural purposes. The same was refused mainly on the ground that fields of convict were being ploughed by his brother, as per annexure R-1. The position with regard to availability of a friend of the prisoner or a member of his family to help him in the agricultural operations stands changed as per the Haryana Good Conduct Prisoners (Temporary Release) Act, 1988 wherein that part of the relevant provision i.e. clauses (c) of sub-section (1) of section 3 stands deleted. The same now runs as under :-

(2.) IN the result, I allow this petition and direct that petitioner Karnail Singh be released on 6 weeks' parole to the satisfaction of District Magistrate, Jind. Petition allowed.
