O R D E R

% 09.09.2015 The petitioner has challenged the order dated 19.06.2015 passed by the competent authority whereby his prayer for being released on parole has been rejected primarily on the ground that the verification of the home address could not be made by the police despite several requests to them. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that his conduct in jail has been satisfactory and on earlier occasion also when he was released on bail, he did not involve himself in any unlawful activity and surrendered before the jail authority on time.

Learned counsel for the petitioner seeks his release on parole for reconnecting social ties. He has remained in jail for more than 4 1⁄2 years. The status report confirms the address of the petitioner. Taking the above facts into account, the petitioner is released on

parole for a period of 30 days from the date of his release, on the petitioner furnishing a bond in the sum of Rs.10,000/- with one surety of the like amount to the satisfaction of the Trial Court, subject to the following conditions:- a) The petitioner shall surrender before the jail authorities on or before the expiry of the said period of parole. b) The petitioner shall not engage himself in any unlawful activity. c) The petitioner would not leave, under any circumstance, the National Capital Territory of Delhi.

d) He shall furnish his mobile telephone number and the mobile telephone number of the surety to the SHO of the concerned police station so that in case of necessity he could be tracked and his whereabouts could be ascertained.

In case, the petitioner flouts any one of the conditions, an application could be moved by the SHO for cancellation of his parole and for taking of the coercive steps for securing his attendance. With these observations, the petition is disposed of. Dasti.

A copy of this order be communicated to the Superintendent of the concerned Jail for information and compliance. ASHUTOSH KUMAR, J SEPTEMBER 09, 2015 ab
