Rejection of Parole – It is well settled that merely an apprehension that release of convict would result in disturbance of peace or danger to State security or the likelihood of the prisoner getting involved in more offences, if so, released on parole, is not, in itself, a ground to deny the benefit of parole – Petition allowed and the impugned order set aside – Petitioner ordered to be released on parole for four weeks.
