DHANRAJ SAINI Vs. STATE OF RAJASTHAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) HAVING undergone regular paroles, having been shifted from Central Jail, Ajmer to the Open Air Camp in Bikaner, two convicted prisoners, who are real brothers, are still running from pillar to post hoping to be given the benefit of the permanent parole under the Rajasthan Prisons (Release on Parole) Rules, 1958. Both the prisoners, Dhanraj and Phoolchand, have sent a joint letter to this Court, which has been treated as a letter petition by this Court.

(2.) THE brief facts of the case are that both the petitioners were tried for offence under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC, and for offences under Sections 3/25, /27 of the Arms Act and were sentenced to life imprisonment and for other terms of sentence by the Addl. Sessions Judge (Fast Track), Nagaur, by judgment dated 07.12.2001. They filed appeals before this Court.

(3.) IT is with this philosophy in mind, that the parole rules entitled a prisoner to the benefit of parole periodically after he has fulfilled certain requirements. In case a convicted prisoner were to complete four regular paroles, in case he were to observe excellent behavior during his furloughs, he would be entitled to be released on permanent parole.
