The Rajasthan High Court held that bond conditions must reflect a prisoner’s financial capacity, stressing that poverty cannot justify continued incarceration. The court criticised authorities for mechanically insisting on sureties from indigent prisoners seeking parole as unjust and unfair.
On Friday(9th August), The Punjab and Haryana High Court has lifted the ban on granting parole to Dera Chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, allowing the Haryana government to consider his release. This ruling follows a petition by the SGPC challenging the application of the Haryana Good Conduct Prisoners Act.
