The application of the petitioner for parole came to be rejected in view of the notification dated 26/08/2016 which states that if a person has been convicted for an offence of rape, he cannot be granted parole. The petitioner has been convicted in a case of rape, hence, this notification fully applies to the case of the petitioner. In this view of the matter, we are not inclined to interfere. Rule is discharged.
