Kerala High Court Denies Parole to Convicted Rapist Citing Societal Concerns
The Kerala High Court denied parole to a man convicted of raping a minor girl who sought to attend his wife's 16th-day post-funeral ceremony. The court emphasized the grave nature of his offences, including rape, aggravated sexual assault, and robbery, stating that granting parole would send a wrong message to society. It noted that maximum leniency had already been shown by allowing him to attend his wife's funeral and found no exceptional circumstances to justify emergency parole.
