custody parole to the petitioner for the purpose of cremation of his mother and also for attending the Tehrvi/Uthala.
4.
The application has been opposed by learned APP arguing that the allegations against the accused are grave and serious in nature. 5.
The accused is facing trial in respect of serious charges. The case is still at an initial stage so much so the charges are yet not framed. Learned trial court has already granted liberty to the petitioner avail the benefit of custody parole for attending the Tehrvi ceremony. 6.
I find no illegality or infirmity in the order passed by the learned trial court.
7.
The application filed by the petitioner is therefore dismissed with liberty to avail the custody parole for attending the Tehrvi/Uthala ceremony stated to be scheduled for 25.03.2025, subject to the verification of the same by the police/concerned jail authorities.
8.
Copy of this order be sent to the Superintendent of Jail for information and compliance.
9.
At this stage, learned counsel for the petitioner states that petitioner is a poor person, and therefore, may not be able to avail the benefit of custody parole on account of financial hardships and therefore, he may be permitted to avail the custody parole at the State expense. 10.
On humanitarian ground, the request made is allowed with direction that the accused be taken to Bijnor, UP to enable him to attend the Tehrvi/Uthala ceremony of his mother at State expense subject to verification of date and time of Tehrvi ceremony by the police/Jail Superintendent.
