Parole Relief | Financial Incapacity Invalidates Surety Condition; Personal Bond Substitution Mandated for Indigent Convicts : Rajasthan HC
The Rajasthan High Court has ruled that requiring solvent sureties from indigent convicts renders court-granted parole illusory and violates Article 21. It has substituted the ₹1 lakh surety requirement with a personal bond of ₹1 lakh, ensuring that economic status does not obstruct access to legally granted liberty. This sets a critical precedent for equitable implementation of parole across socioeconomic lines.
