“8. The Court is mindful of the legislative intent of the POCSO Act which
provides that the contact between the accused and the victim should be
prevented in order to minimise the trauma experienced by the child.
According to us, if the victim is faced with the presence of convict-
petitioner, it would have an adverse impact on her mental well-being

and he/she would be forced to re-visit the trauma and be reminded of
the incident which she would be trying hard to forget.
9. But then, a balance has to be struck between the safety and
emotional aspect of the victim and statutory rights of the accused. We
are of the opinion that such balance would be achieved if the accused
spends his time of parole at a place which is away from victim’s
residence. Such order would take care of the apprehension/anxiety
expressed by learned AAG.
10. The impugned order dated 10.10.2023 passed by District Parole
Advisory Committee, Deedwana-Kuchaman is hereby quashed and set
aside and the application for second parole is hereby allowed.”

On harmonious construction of Rules 2(g), 5, 6, 10, 11 & 16 the
interpretation is that condition of ineligibility for release on parole given
in Rule 16 shall not be applicable to an application made under Rule 11
but are for release on Parole under Rule 10.
Another aspect is that for circumstances and provisions of IPC
mentioned in Rule 16(1) a prisoner is ineligible for release on parole till
having served half of the sentence including remission. In case, release
of the petitioner covered under Rule 16(1) is to be delayed till serving of
half of the sentence it shall defeat the basic purpose of Rule 11
providing for emergent release on humanitarian consideration. In other
words, Rule 11 for release of prisoner for taking care of a seriously ill
relative/death of any close relative/property damage in natural
calamity/marriage of prisoner or his children/delivery of prisoner’s wife

till serving half of the sentence.
