The detenu had been convicted in S.C.No.1320/2014 for offences under Section 376, 364(A), 395 r/w 149, 506 of IPC by the LIII Additional City Civil & Sessions Judge (CCH-54), Bengaluru and sentenced on 23.10.2024 with the highest of the sentence being - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:33953 WP No. 18844 of 2026 imprisonment for life. The detenu has served a period of 2 years 17 days of imprisonment as on 27.11.2025 and his conduct in jail is said to be satisfactory. The petitioner having made an application for emergency parole, the same came to be rejected on account of adverse report having received by the police. 3. The application has been filed by the wife of the detenu seeking his release on the ground that the father of the detenu is suffering from systemic hypertension and hypothyroidism. The detenu has been convicted and sentenced to imprisonment for life for offences punishable under Section 376, 364(A), 395 r/w 149, 506 of IPC. He has undergone incarceration only for a period of 2 years 17 days. In my considered opinion, the emergency pleaded is only the hypertension and hypothyroidism of the father of the detenu, the same does not qualify as an emergency. Hence, the petition stands rejected. Sd/- (SURAJ GOVINDARAJ) JUDGE SR List No.: 2 Sl No.: 40
