Government Advocate ..BY THE COURT : The District Parole Advisory Committee, Dungarpur in its meeting dated 23.5.2014 awarded 20 days fiRs.parole to Smt.
Mani W/o.
Shri Ramesh Meena, resident of Mathugamda, Police Station Sadar, District Dungarpur subject to furnishing two sureties of Rs.25,000/- each and a personal-bond of Rs.50,000/-.
The claim of the petitioner is that she is coming from lower echelon of society, being a member of Scheduled Tribe, therefore, she may be permitted to avail parole without furnishing sureties.
Suffice to mention that the petitioner convict-prisoner is undergoing life term imprisonment, being convicted by the judgment dated 8.12.2004 for the offence punishable under Sections 302 and 201 I.P.C.She has already served sentence for a period of 13 yeaRs.09 months and 21 days (including jail as well as [2].State remission) as on 30.6.2014.
In the period of 13 yeaRs.09 months and 21 days including jail as well as State remission she has not availed even a single parole.
From the facts averred in the minutes of the District Parole Advisory Committee and also looking to the remission earned, it is apparent that the jail conduct of the petitioner is satisfactory.
It is also not in dispute that she is resident of tribal sub-plan area and is also a member of aboriginal community.
Looking to these facts, we deem it appropriate to accept this petition for writ.
Accordingly, this petition for writ is allowed.
The respondents are directed to release petitioner Smt.
Mani W/o.
