1. By way of the instant parole petition, the convict–petitioner, Ramdin S/o Shri Buxa Ram, has invoked the extraordinary jurisdiction of this Court seeking his release on emergent parole for a period of fifteen days. The prayer is premised upon the grave and deteriorating medical condition of the convict, who is stated to be suffering from multiple and serious ailments, including Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), Grade–IV left varicocele with mild hydrocele, renal parenchymal disease accompanied by elevated blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels, and Type–II Diabetes Mellitus. It is asserted that his condition necessitates immediate and sustained medical intervention coupled with familial care and assistance.

2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the convict is a septuagenarian, aged about 76 years, whose fragile health and advanced age render him particularly vulnerable. It is contended that the ailments afflicting him are chronic, progressive, and potentially life-threatening, requiring specialized medical supervision and emotional support from his family members. It is thus urged that, in consonance with the applicable parole rules and humanitarian considerations underlying the correctional jurisprudence, the petitioner deserves to be enlarged on emergent parole.

3. Learned counsel appearing for the State, upon instructions, does not seriously dispute the medical condition of the convict– petitioner and fairly concedes that he is suffering from significant ailments requiring medical attention.

4. I have bestowed my anxious consideration to the rival submissions and have meticulously perused the material placed on record, including the medical certificate issued by the Senior Medical Officer, Jail Dispensary, Jodhpur, which substantiates the ailments and the precarious health status of the convict–petitioner. 5. Having regard to the totality of circumstances, this Court cannot remain oblivious to the manifestly precarious and enfeebled medical condition of the convict–petitioner. The ailments enumerated are neither trivial nor transient; rather, they disclose a constellation of serious cardiovascular, renal, and metabolic disorders which, particularly in a person of advanced age, assume alarming proportions. The object of parole, though regulatory in nature, is equally imbued with reformative and humanitarian considerations. The continued incarceration of a septuagenarian prisoner grappling with such grave comorbidities, without affording him a brief interlude for comprehensive medical care and familial solace, would be antithetical to the constitutional ethos of dignity and humane treatment. This Court is, therefore, persuaded that the ends of justice would be subserved by extending to the convict the beneficent dispensation of emergent parole.

6. In the aforesaid backdrop, the instant parole writ petition stands allowed. It is ordered that the convict–prisoner Ramdin S/o Shri Buxa Ram shall be released on emergent parole for a period of fifteen days, subject to his furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand only) along with two solvent sureties in the sum of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty-Five Thousand only) each, to the satisfaction of the Superintendent, Central Jail, Jodhpur, and upon compliance with the usual terms and conditions governing parole
