Hon'ble Supreme Court in Babu Singh vs. State of UP, 1978 (1) SCC 579 has also observed that "unremitting insulation in the harsh and hardened company of prisoners leads to many unmention-able vices that humanizing interludes of parole are part of the compassionate 3 of 5 constitutionalism of our system".

In the present case, the petitioner has been in custody for a period of six years and 5 months approximately, and all these years, he has not been released on parole even once. It has not been disputed by the learned State counsel that the petitioner has maintained good conduct inside the prison and has been acquitted in the three out of the four cases, which were pending against him. Further a panchayat nama (Annexure P-1) also reveals that there is no apprehension of any threat to the peace of the village or any apprehension of the petitioner being involved in any illegal activities during the parole period.
