Convict on Parole for Wedding Now Seeks Honeymoon Leave; Karnataka HC Says 'Not Yet'
- •A man serving a life sentence for murder was granted parole last year to get married.
- •He recently sought parole again, this time for a honeymoon, citing conjugal rights.
- •The Karnataka High Court, through Justice Suraj Govindaraju, rejected the immediate request.
- •The court stated parole is not a routine privilege and suggested reapplying after six months.
- •The case highlights the complex balance between punishment, personal rights, and parole regulations in India's prison system.
Why It Matters: Parole is an exception, not an entitlement; the court balances compassion with legal limits.
