UPSC 2021: With reference to India, consider the following statements : 1. When a prisoner makes out a sufficient case, parole cannot be denied to such prisoner because it becomes a matter of his/her right. 2. State Governments have their own Prisoners Release on Parole Rules. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
(a)1 only
(b)2 only
(c)Both 1 and 2
(d)Neither 1 nor 2
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) 2 only
Indian courts have repeatedly held that parole is a privilege, not an enforceable right; authorities can refuse it even if the prisoner applies with reasons—so statement 1 is incorrect. Prison and parole are subjects on the State List, and every State/UT frames its own Prisoners’ (Release on Parole/Furlough) Rules, so statement 2 is correct. Therefore option (b) 2 only.
