The power to grant furlough is usually with the government (executive), but in Delhi, the High Court is hearing a case about this rule. Furlough is a temporary leave from prison given as a right to well-behaved prisoners, while parole is granted in special cases based on need. The Delhi rule is different because the court, not just the government, plays a role in these decisions. This case is important as it may change how furlough is granted in Delhi.
