Delhi High Court directed district courts to strictly implement Supreme Court directions on granting bail to undertrials held in prolonged custody. The case involved an accused who had spent more than one-third of a seven-year sentence in jail.
The Karnataka High Court granted a convict a 30-day parole following his wife’s plea for the right to have children, emphasizing personal rights despite legal penalties. The convict, serving a murder sentence, married with court intervention and secured a further temporary release to start a family, with specified parole conditions.
