The Supreme Court has refused to hear a petition challenging the order of the Rajasthan High Court, granting 15-day parole to a convict, who is serving life sentence, to have a matrimonial relationship with his wife, in order to have a child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The court said this order of the Jodhpur High Court was three months old and the convict has already returned to the prison, after completing the period of parole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The counsel representing the Rajasthan government said that due to this, the applications for parole were increasing continuously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the Supreme Court said that it can demand clarification in the order of the High Court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The petition by the Government of Rajasthan had challenged the order of the High Court, stating that this was not a valid ground for allowing parole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It further said that the number of applications for such parole was very large and if parole was given on this basis, then more convicts will come for the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The High Court gave this order on the plea by the wife of a convict seeking the release of her husband on the basis of the right of her child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The High Court observed that the imprisonment affected the sexual and emotional needs of the convict’s wife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further, the High Court had said that out of 16 essential ceremonies, the first right of a woman was to conceive. Along with this, the court also released on 15 days parole, referring to the principles of Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Hinduism, including the Rig Veda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this case, the convict, Nandlal, is serving life imprisonment in Rajasthan’s Ajmer jail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
