The Petitioner's request for grant of parole was rejected by Home (General Department) of the Government of NCT of Delhi by order dated 2nd June 2025, in view of Rule 1211(iii) of the Delhi Prison Rules, 2018. It has also been noted that the overall jail conduct of the Petitioner has been unsatisfactory, as he had absconded during parole/furlough on multiple occasions and had to be re-arrested.

Since then, his jail conduct has been reported as satisfactory for the past one year.

Considering the long duration of incarceration, his satisfactory conduct during the last one year, the immediate needs cited by the Petitioner, the Court is inclined to allow the request for parole, subject to strict conditions.
