Supreme Court stays Rajasthan HC order granting parole to POCSO rape convict for 15 days to conceive child with wife

While granting parole, the High Court Bench of Justices Sandeep Mehta and Sameer Jain had considered the fact that the convict and his wife were young and wanted to preserve their lineage by starting a family.

“In the case in hand, considering the peculiar fact that petition is filed by the young wife of the convict, who is issueless and is desirous of retaining/maintaining her marriage with the convict who is incarcerated for a long period of time; considering that petition is filed for having progeny for purpose of preservation of lineage…this Court is inclined to allow the present writ petition and release the convict-petitioner on emergent parole for fifteen days,” the High Court had observed.
