...Respondents

CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE INDERJIT SINGH

Present:

Mr.B.S.Kathuria, Advocate for the petitioner.

**** INDERJIT SINGH, J.

Petitioner has filed this criminal writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India for grant of parole for four weeks to attend the marriage of his niece (bhanji) which is to be solemnized on 30.01.2016.

I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the record.

This petition is taken up today and the marriage is going to take place on 30.01.2016 i.e. tomorrow. The petitioner was knowing well regarding the marriage of his niece on 30.01.2016 but he has not filed the petition in advance. Today, even the report cannot be called from the State counsel whether the marriage of niece of the petitioner is going to take place on 30.01.2016. There is even no time to give notice to learned State counsel. Secondly, in the whole petition, VINEET GULATI 2016.02.08 17:00 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this document Chandigarh

CRWP No.150 of 2016 -2nothing has been mentioned as to where the marriage is going to be performed, at what time the ceremonies are to be held. There is no copy of the wedding card or any document to show the place of marriage etc. Otherwise also, the presence of the petitioner is not necessary at the marriage of his niece.

In view of the above discussion, I do not find any ground to grant parole of four weeks to the petitioner for attending marriage of his niece. Therefore, finding no merit in the present criminal writ petition, the same is dismissed.
