Parole Abscondence Bars Permanent Release but May Still Warrant Temporary Grant on Custody and Conduct Grounds : Rajasthan HC
The Rajasthan High Court denied permanent parole to a convict who absconded after a prior parole grant, emphasizing that such conduct undermines the reformative purpose of conditional release. However, recognizing 20 years of custody and good behavior post-rearrest, it granted a 15-day temporary parole - setting a precedent that rehabilitation potential can justify limited relief even after breach of trust.
