2. At the outset, the learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the
petitioner has undergone surgery for his left shoulder and has been advised
surgery for his right shoulder as well. He submits that the petitioner has
been advised to undergo physiotherapy for the healing of his left shoulder,
however, since he did not get permission, he is having persistent pain as
also the movement of his left hand is restricted as he is not able to lift the
same beyond a point. Learned counsel for the petitioner, based thereon,
submits that it would be in the interest of justice, if the petitioner is
released on parole for addressing his physical condition.
3. Per contra, learned ASC for the State, whilst relying upon the
document(s) annexed with the Status Report dated 03.12.2025, submits
that since the petitioner has been punished as many as fifty-two times,
there is no reason for granting parole to the petitioner.
4. Regardless of the above, in view of the overall factual matrix
involved, particularly, since the petitioner is in dire need of medical
assistance as also on humanitarian grounds, and particularly since after
being giving the punishment on 18.11.2023, there has only been a solitary
instance on 04.11.2025, the present is one under special circumstances, for
releasing the petitioner on parole to enable him to get the necessary
medical assistance which is essential for his physical as also his mental
well-being.
5. Accordingly, the petitioner, convicted in FIR No.69/2009 registered
under Sections 364/302/201/394/468/471/482/34 of the IPC registered at
PS.: Vasant Vihar, Delhi is released on parole for a period of four weeks
from the date of his release on parole, subject to him furnishing a personal
