10. It is a well settled principle that parole is an integral part of the rehabilitated and reformative process embedded within the criminal justice system. The objective of parole is to facilitate the reintegration of a convict into society and to maintain familial and social ties, thereby reducing the risk of a recidivism. It cannot be denied solely on vague, unsbustantiated, or generalized apprehensions of breach of peace. The Division Bench of this Court in Daler Singh Vs. State of Punjab and others (CRWP-1322- 2015), held that mere apprehension of absconding cannot form the sole basis for rejecting the parole, even if the convict had prior involvement in smuggling activities. It was reiterated that parole is a reformative mechanism intended to ensure that the convict remains connected with his family and society at large, thereby aiding his rehabilitation.
