Rajasthan High Court had given parole for 15 days
In the decision of Rajasthan High Court which the woman from Khandwa has attached in her petition, she had requested to release her husband in order to conceive. The court had ordered the release of her jailed husband on parole for 15 days.
This decision was given by the division bench of Justice Sandeep Mehta and Justice Farzand Ali of Rajasthan High Court. The court had said that there is no clear provision in the Parole Rules 2021 to release a prisoner on parole on the basis of having a child with his wife. During the hearing, Justice Farzand Ali said that according to Hindu philosophy, conception i.e. receiving the wealth of the womb is one of the 16 sanskars. The court said that in Judaism, Christianity and some other religions, birth has been called a divine order. Preservation of lineage is considered in Islamic Sharia and Islam.
