Considering the peculiar circumstances obtaining in the matter, and especially the fact that the petitioner is presently hospitalised and undergoing his post-operative period; and that he would further need several weeks of post-operative care, the present petition is allowed. The petitioner is granted parole for a period of 04 weeks commencing today, on the same conditions as were imposed vidé order dated 25.02.2026 passed by the competent authority(while granting furlough to the petitioner), which conditions are stated to have been complied with already. It is made clear, that the present order is being passed in the peculiar circumstances obtaining in the matter; and it would not be the norm for the court to grant parole in usual circumstances, without a party having first approached the jail authorities for that relief.

The petition is disposed-of in the above terms. Pending applications, if any, also stand disposed-of. ANUP JAIRAM BHAMBHANI, J MARCH 25, 2026 V.Rawat W.P.(CRL) 831/2026 The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.
