In Brief
The Supreme Court allowed a Special Leave Petition filed by a prisoner seeking permission to attend his son's wedding. The Court permitted the petitioner to travel between 7th and 14th August 2017 for this purpose. The petitioner was required to bear all costs associated with his escort during this period. The straightforward order reflects the Court's discretion to grant temporary parole for significant family events, balancing the prisoner's personal interests with security and procedural requirements.
