It is trite to say that every convict is entitled to avail all the remedies as may be available to him under the law upto the highest forum by engaging a counsel of his choice. Address of the petitioner has been verified.

Request of the petitioner has been rejected by the Govt. of NCT of Delhi on the ground that there is possibility of threat to the victim and witnesses as also that of jumping the parole by the petitioner. However, the grounds on which such an opinion has been formed are not spelled out, inasmuch as, no such apprehension has been propounded in the verification report submitted by the Station House Officer (SHO) of police station Subzi

Mandi.
