CORAM: JUSTICE GIRISH KATHPALIA J U D G M E N T (ORAL) 1.

Petitioner has challenged rejection of his parole application. The parole application was rejected on the ground that one month gap has to be maintained between the completion of furlough availed and application for parole. Learned ASC submits that in any case now, more than one month has passed after completion of the furlough availed by the petitioner, so now he can be considered for parole.
