Meeting One's Family Most Important Facet Of Right To Life: P&H High Court Grants 8 Weeks Parole To NDPS Convict

Live Law  

Meeting one's family is one of the most important facets of right to life and thus, said ground for parole is legal and valid and in accordance with law, the Punjab and Haryana High Court has observed. The single bench of Justice Vikas Bahl set aside the impugned order and allowed for the petitioner to be released on parole for a period of 8 weeks, noting that meeting one's family was an important facet of the right to life. As far as the apprehensions of the authorities were concerned, the Court placed reliance on the decision in Gursahib Singh v. State of Punjab and Others, CRWP-867-2021, and held that: "There is no specific input from any quarter to suggest that the petitioner would indulge in the crime for which he had been convicted and thus, the impugned order, having been passed on the basis of surmises and conjectures, deserves to be set aside.
