Though the jail authorities had recommended it, the Competent Authority had rejected. 3. A perusal of the police report indicates that it deals with the conviction of the detenu and does not cover any issue as regards the petitioner is at flight risk and/or could cause any harm or injury to the victim/s or victim/s causing any harm to the detenu. 4. One of the reasons covered under Section 636 (viii) of the Karnataka Prison Manual ruminates to help the convict remain in touch with developments in the outside world. The detenu having spent 10 years 9 months 9 days would have to be reintegrated with society on his sentence being complete. Hence, the grant of parole from time to time would help in such reintegration. 5. In that view of the matter, taking into consideration the conduct of the detenu has been satisfactory while incarcerated, there is no particular complaint against the detenu, I pass the following: ORDER i. The Writ Petition is allowed i. Respondent–The Chief Superintendent Central Prison, Belagavi is directed to release the detenu- Sayyed Imtiyaz @ Kurup CTP - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:33736 WP No. 16411 of 2026 No.3390 on parole for a period of 90 days commencing from 20.07.2026, subject to the following conditions: a.
