HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE MADHU JAIN O R D E R % 07.07.2026
1. This hearing has been done through hybrid mode.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the complaint alleging misbehaviour against the petitioner, which had been made by the Delhi High Court Jail Visiting Advocate, has subsequently been withdrawn by the complainant himself.
3. A perusal of the nominal roll dated 08.06.2026 reveals that the petitioner has undergone more than 19 years of incarceration, including the remission earned. It further reflects that the petitioner has been granted parole and furlough on several occasions by the jail authorities and, except on one occasion when he surrendered with a delay of one day, there is no material to indicate that he has misused the liberty granted to him.
4. In these circumstances, and for the reasons recorded hereinabove, this Court is inclined to grant parole to the petitioner for a period of 21 days from the date of his release from jail, subject to the following terms and conditions: i. The petitioner shall furnish a personal bond in the sum of Rs.10,000/- This is a digitally signed order.
