Quash the impugned order dated 18.11.2025 vide C.No.1166/2025 passed by the Respondent no.2 at Annexure-A and further be pleased to direct the Respondent No.1 Police to release the Petitioner on Emergency Parole for a period of 90 days without referring the matter to the Respondent No.2 Police. II. Issue any other writ or order or direction that deems fit to grant in the circumstances of the case in the interest of justice.” 2. The petitioner, who gets convicted of the offence punishable under Section 302 of IPC inter alia. The petitioner is in prison for the last one year and six months. Though the tenure of the petitioner in prison does not warrant any grant of any parole, the petitioner has projected reasons for grant of emergency parole i.e., the marriage of a sister. 3. In that light, I deem it appropriate to permit the convict to be released on parole for a period of ten days, which would become operational from the date of release of the convict from the jail.
