Permanent parole under the Rules of 1958 is available to the convict prisoners with a pious object of their rehabilitation with natural flow in the stream of society. The presumption is that a man who has suffered prison for 14 years has reformed himself to the extent of getting out from the State custody to the larger custody i.e. of society. On basis of this presumption by way of permanent parole custody of a convict prisoner is required to be handed over to the society which is necessary in view of the basic human instinct of community living. A human being deserves to be kept with society being a social animal till he does not cause harm to the fundamentals of the society itself. The permanent parole as designed under the Rules of 1958 if denied without proper application of mind, without taking into consideration the object of such parole, then it can be safely said that the authority competent for grant of such parole is not having adequate faith with the society which is a minimum requirement to have developed socio economic system. Permanent parole to a convict prisoner is necessary not only to rehabilitate a person or to bring him in a main stream of the society, but also to ensure strength of a society to accommodate even a person who at one point of time acted against the normal settled values of the society. The custody of society in such cases plays a very vital role to strengthen human being in person and also at community level. At the same time, it is also relevant to notice that if a person who has suffered imprisonment for good 14 years and whose conduct is yet not suitable for community living and whose hostility towards the social system and other human beings is apparent, then the competent authority may deny for permanent parole by recording such circumstances.
