On July 22, 2025, the petitioner applied for one month of parole under the provisions of the Delhi Prison Rules, 2018. He sought temporary release on several grounds to maintain social and family relations, to relieve mental stress and depression caused by prolonged imprisonment and to look after his ailing father.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:15pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">It was submitted to the Court that even after a lapse of more than a month, no decision was taken by the Competent Authority.

The Court observed that the authorities have shown a complete lack of sensitivity towards prisoners who suffer from long incarceration, ignoring the mental and physical strain such confinement causes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:15pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">The Court stressed that delays in granting parole or furlough defeat their purpose of helping prisoners maintain family bonds and mental health. It warned that prolonged imprisonment without relief can cause unrest and indiscipline in jails. Despite repeated directions, the authorities remain indifferent and careless, showing an ongoing administrative failure rather than a one-time mistake.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:15pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><strong>Court&rsquo;s Direction And Observations: <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:15pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><strong><em>&ldquo;Considering that the Parole for four weeks, was sought not only for the physical and mental health of the Petitioner but also on account of the ill-health of his father, which is his right under the Delhi Prison Rules, 2018 and there is no circumstance brought on record, which disentitles him from claiming this relief, this Court is compelled to allow the Petition and grant four weeks&#39; Parole to the Petitioner<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:15pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><strong>,<\/strong><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:15pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">&rdquo; the Court said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:15pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">In addition, the bench summoned the Principal Secretary (Home), Delhi Government, to appear in person on <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:15pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><strong>November 6, 2025,<\/strong><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:15pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"> to provide an explanation for the repeated non-compliance and outline steps to streamline the parole and furlough process.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <hr \/>\n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:15pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">Case <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:16pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><span style=\"background-color:#ffffff\">Title: <\/span><\/span><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/delhihighcourt.nic.in\/app\/showlogo\/1760101667_1d0abcd6cf2050d0_nbk_31772025.pdf\/2025\" style=\"text-decoration-line:none\"><span style=\"font-size:16pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><span style=\"color:#1155cc\"><span style=\"background-color:#ffffff\">Lalit @ Lucky v.
