Nagpur: The Nagpur Bench of the Bombay High Court has granted parole to gangster Arun Gawli on the ground of his wife’s ill-health.
Gawli’s application for grant of parole was rejected by the Divisional Commissioner citing an adverse police report taking objection to his release alleging that he is a gang leader and his release on parole may create law and order situation. It was further alleged that Mumbai Municipal elections were on cards and his release may create a problem considering the elections.
The Division Bench of Justice Shukre and Justice Sanap allowed the writ petition filed by Arun Gawli. Gawli has been asked to report to Agripada Police Station.
Adv Mir Nagman Ali appeared for Arun Gawli.
