Mumbai: The Maharashtra government has decided not to grant parole to rape and murder convicts in Maharashtra. People who are convicted of serious offences like child trafficking will also be denied parole.
The Maharashtra Home Department had last week put all parole applications on hold temporarily. The department had notified that no parole would be given till revised rules are notified.
Maharashtra government has encountered a humiliating situation by having highest number of parole violations consistently that forced the government to revise parole rules.
The state government also drew flak from the Bombay High Court for extending the parole of actor Sanjay Dutt who was convicted in 1993 Bombay blasts. It was accused of showing ‘extra diligence’ in the matter and discriminating between him and other convicts.
