% 08.02.2019 The petitioner seeks parole to maintain his social ties and family relations. His request was declined by the Government on the ground that he has already been granted three weeks' furlough by the State which he has not availed, therefore, there would be no necessity for the parole. The Court would note that according to the Nominal Roll, the petitioner had enjoyed a furlough of three weeks beginning 30.10.2018. Therefore, when his request for parole was considered by the Government, there was no granted furlough pending to be availed by him. Therefore, the order is ill-founded.
