A recent court order granted a convicted individual partial parole to address agricultural needs. The Petitioner, whose identity is not disclosed, was previously denied parole but appealed to the court.
Background:
The Petitioner had been convicted of serious offenses under Sections 302, 392, and 201 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Details about the specific crimes are not included in the court order. They argued that their family would suffer significant hardship if they were not allowed parole for agricultural purposes.
Past Parole and Court's Decision:
The court acknowledged that the Petitioner had been granted general parole twice before without any reported issues. Considering this positive history and the presented need, the court decided to allow the petition partially.
Conclusion:
The court granted a 45-day general parole, starting from April 24, 2024, and ending on June 7, 2024. However, strict conditions were imposed:
- The Petitioner must report to the local police station once a week during the parole period.
- The police are responsible for returning the Petitioner to jail if they fail to return after the designated period.
- Standard parole conditions regarding good behavior and refraining from further criminal activity will apply.
The order allows the petitioner to potentially seek an extension of their parole, but their conduct during this initial period will be a key factor in that decision.
