Full Judgment
2. Heard finally.
3. Convict-petitioner Jugtaram S/o Pabudan, has preferred this parole writ petition, by post, from jail for grant of first parole of 20 days.
4. It appears that letter petition has been sent directly to this Court, without approaching the District Parole Advisory Committee first.
5. We have considered the contents of the application and the submissions of the learned Additional Government Advocate.
6. As per the provisions of Rajasthan Prisoners Release on Parole Rules, 1958 {2} DB CRIM. WRIT PET(PAROLE).13685/2012 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules of 1958'), the application for grant of parole is required to be submitted to the Superintendent of concerned Jail, who is required to forward the same for consideration to the District Parole Advisory Committee along with necessary information of the accused. Thereafter, the application is considered by the District Parole Advisory Committee.
7. At this stage, we are not aware as to whether contents of the application are correct or not, whether any appeal is pending or not, whether conduct of petitioner during jail custody is satisfactory or not? Initialy, the accused should first approach the statutory authority and in case, his/her application is rejected, then only he/she can prefer a writ petition before this Court, challenging the order of District Parole Advisory Committee.
8. In these circumstances, we are not inclined to entertain this petition and the same is, accordingly, dismissed.

However, a liberty is granted to convict to move an application for grant of parole to the Superintendent of the concerned jail, who is directed to forward the same for consideration to the District Parole Advisory {3} DB CRIM. WRIT PET(PAROLE).13685/2012 Committee and the Committee is also directed to consider and decide the application, in accordance with law.
10. Registry is directed to send a copy of this order for information to convict and for compliance to the Superintendent of the concerned jail as well as the concerned District Magistrate. (VIJAY BISHNOI),J.
