% 15.02.2017 Issue notice. Ms. Kapoor accepts notice. She has tendered a status report, which is taken on record.

The petitioner has preferred the present writ petition to seek a direction that he be released on parole for a period of 3 months. The ground taken by the petitioner is that the marriage of his brother is fixed on 18.02.2017. A copy of the marriage card has been annexed with the petition.

Ms. Kapoor submits on the basis of the status report that the verification has been got done and the petitioner's address as well as the fact of the marriage has been verified.

The nominal roll on record shows that the petitioner is undergoing a life sentence in case FIR No.213/2003 under Section 364A/ 307/ 34 IPC registered at PS - Sultan Puri. He has already undergone 13 years, 9 months

and 08 days of incarceration as on 18.01.2017. The jail conduct of the petitioner for the last one year has been found to be satisfactory. He was punished on 25.07.2014 for surrendering 06 days late after availing furlough. He has been released on furlough from 2014 onwards and even till as late as between 05.08.2016 and 19.08.2016. Since the fact of the marriage of the petitioner's brother has been got verified, I am inclined to allow the petition. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be released on parole for a period of four weeks subject to: i) his furnishing personal bond with one surety in the sum of Rs.10,000/- to the satisfaction of the Jail Superintendent; ii) he shall provide his mobile phone number to the Jail Superintendent at the time of his release, which shall be kept in working condition at all times.
