The Court observed,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The petitioners were simpleton elderly persons and they did not have adequate means to pay the said penal amount.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pawan Kumar, son of the petitioners was convicted for life imprisonment. The District Magistrate had released him on three weeks&#8217; parole on surety bonds of Rs 2 Lakh each filed by both the petitioners to ensure that Pawan will surrender back on 24-07-2019, however, he failed to surrender on the said date. Pursuant to which, the DM had imposed the penalty of Rs 2 Lakh each, on the petitioners and further directed that the said amount be recovered as arrears of land revenue.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Being aggrieved, the petitioners preferred an appeal before the Court of Sessions and pleaded that there are not in a position to pay such a heavy penalty as they are having meager source of income. The Additional Sessions Judge, vide order dated 15-12-2020, reduced the penalty amount to Rs 50,000 each with a direction that the same be deposited within one month of passing the order, failing which the order shall automatically be recalled and appeal would be deemed to be dismissed, meaning thereby, the order of DM, of imposing penalty of Rs 2 Lakh, would revive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Noticing the fact that Pawan Kumar was arrested in some other case and was lodged in jail which had rendered him incapable to surrender before the jail authorities on 24-07-2019. They stood surety to said convict Pawan on humanitarian grounds, who had already undergone 13 years of the actual sentence and was granted parole of three weeks. The Court observed,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Both the petitioners were petty old farmers, having meager land holdings as petitioner 1 was aged about 58 years and petitioner 2 was aged about 60 years. They did not had any independent source of income.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Citing the case of <em>Gopal Kaur v.
