New Delhi: Grant of parole is a “privilege” and not a “right” to be extended in routine, Delhi High Court observed while refusing to extend the parole of a realtor who has been avoiding a sentence of 182 years for duping buyers. The court said the sentence cannot be escaped and parole endlessly continued merely on the ground that efforts are being made by the man to arrange for funds for settling the cases with plot buyers as this would be contrary to the scheme for grant of furlough and parole provided under Delhi Prison Rules, 2018.PTI
