Chhattisgarh Prisoner Leave Rules | Public Safety Overrides Parole for Heinous Offences Despite Rehabilitation Goals : CGHC
Chhattisgarh High Court upholds parole denial for a convict under Sections 366 and 376(d) IPC, prioritizing public safety risks-including threats from acquitted co-accused and local objections-over rehabilitation under the Chhattisgarh Prisoner Leave Rules, 1989. The ruling sets a precedent for denying parole where community safety concerns outweigh correctional objectives.
