Rajasthan HC Denies Parole To Asaram Bapu Convicted In Rape Case; Cites Bar On Release Under 2021 Parole Rules, Possible Law & Order Situation

Live Law  

Recently, Rajasthan High Court refused to grant 20 days parole to self-styled godman Asaram Bapu, who is currently serving a life sentence in Central Jail, Jodhpur after two rape convictions in Rajasthan and Gujarat respectively. Petitioner's counsel urged the court to grant parole by citing its earlier decisions where prisoners were released despite getting convicted in another state and serving jail sentences in Rajasthan, rendered as per the Old Parole Rules of 1958. The court noted that, as per Rule 1 of Parole Rules, 2021, the aforesaid reasoning would not apply to those persons who had been convicted in another state or those who have been court-martialled. Person who resides outside Rajasthan, and was convicted by Court of another State not ordinarily eligible for parole under New Rules The court noted that Rule 14 of the old rules provided that the persons whose ordinary place of residence is outside the State of Rajasthan or who have been convicted by a Court of another State will 'ordinarily' not be eligible for release on parole. “…While in Rule 14 of the old Parole Rules of 1958, the word “Ordinarily” has been incorporated leaving it to the discretion of the authorities for grant of first parole of 20 days even to those who have been convicted by a Court outside the State of Rajasthan, the word “Ordinarily” is conspicuously absent in the new Parole Rules of 2021.
