Jammu and Kashmir High Court: <\/strong>A Single Judge Bench comprising of Tashi Rabstan, J. allowed the application filed by the applicant-convict for travelling USA for medical check-up and meeting his children.<\/p>\n

The applicant was convicted and sentenced under Section 471 of Ranbir Penal Code. In an appeal preferred by the applicant herein against his conviction and sentence awarded by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, the High Court had suspended the sentence awarded to him and also admitted him to bail. The applicant had moved an application before the High Court for grant of permission to travel the United States of America.<\/p>\n

The High Court perused the record and noted that even during his trial, the applicant was permitted, on several occasions, to travel abroad for a medical check-up. He never flouted any such permission granted by the trial court. In fact, each time, the applicant had returned before the stipulated time as granted by the courts below. The Court held the reason put forth by the applicant for travelling abroad, i.e. getting a medical check-up and meeting his children, as genuine. In such circumstances, the High Court allowed the application and permitted the applicant to travel USA subject to the conditions imposed. [Rajinder Nath Raina v. State of J&K,2018 SCC OnLine J&K 329<\/a>, dated 01-06-2018]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
