Page 3 of 6 Pages PRIYANKA 2026.07.09 18:38 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document CRWP-5618-2026 From aforementioned details it comes out that in the cases mentioned at Sr. No. i, vii, x, xi. Petitioner was convicted, however, in the cases mentioned at Sr. No.ii, iii, v, viii, ix, xii, xiii, xiv, xv and xvi. Petitioner was either discharged or was acquitted by the respective Courts. 5. Proceedings regard to the cases mentioned at Sr. Nos. iv, vi and xvii are pending. Therefore, prima facie considering the purpose of the Act i.e. Haryana Good Conduct Prisoners (Temporary Release) Act, 2022 for the purpose of releasing of the petitioner on parole cannot be applied so strictly as has been depicted by the State in his status report. Court has seen the medical report as well as photographs (Annexure P-2) and other relevant medical record which clearly shows that the child is suffering measurable pathetic condition and he need urgent medical care. If the prayer of petitioner is rejected, it would be it may cause damaged to the life of infant child without too providing any proper care by some responsible person. 6. However, by referring to the judgment of the Hon’ble Division Bench of this Court in the case titled ‘Kulwinder Singh @ Taina vs. State of Punjab and Others’ 2024 (3) Law Herald 872, Law Finder Doc ID #2592372, and the judgment of this Court in ‘Karanpreet Singh alias Giana alias Fateh vs. State of Punjab and Others’, passed in CRWP-344-2025, decided on 01.03.2025, learned counsel submits that in view of the purpose behind granting parole as a rehabilitative measure, the petitioner ought to be released on parole for a period of eight weeks. Accordingly, prays for quashing of the impugned order. The beneficial purpose of the discretion has already been discussed. 7. Though petitioner has prayed for release of petitioner 03 weeks, however, considering the circumstances in entirety and the ailment with which his child is suffering may require ample time for providing treatment Page 4 of 6 Pages PRIYANKA 2026.07.09 18:38 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document CRWP-5618-2026 and for the said purpose, petitioner is ordered to be released on parole for a period of 08 weeks from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order, and subject fulfiling all the required formalities to the satisfaction of District Magistrate, Jind. Thereupon, petitioner be released on parole immediately by the Jail authorities as per law. Copy of this order be also forwarded to the concerned Jail authorities. However, it is made clear that petitioner if found misusing the concession, immediately he will have to surrender back to the Jail thereon or the Police may also go to arrest him. It would be expected that he will not get involved in any other activity except of taking care of his child and the family members. Further, petitioner is directed to surrender back before the Jail authorities on 11.09.2026 by 5:00 P.M. Petition stands disposed of. 8. Before parting, it is apposite to notice that in the status report dated 24.05.2026 filed by the respondent-State, in Para No.3 it has been stated that the minor son, namely, Himanshu, of the petitioner, who is suffering from neurological ailment, is undergoing treatment at Sunflag Global Hospital, Rohtak. Further it has also been mentioned that surgery/operation of Himanshu was scheduled to be held in the first week of June, 2026. Even photographs of the child have been appended with the present petition as Annexure P-2, showing his ailment/condition. 9. In this view of the matter, this Court is of the considered view that the financial position of the petitioner and his other family members as regards to bear the expenses of the treatment of his minor son in a specialized hospital, is required to be ascertained so that proper treatment may be provided to the ailing child, if so required.
