The Court is mindful of the legislative intent of the POCSO Act which provides that the contact between the accused and the victim should be prevented in order to minimise the trauma experienced by the child. Ac- cording to us, if the victim is faced with the presence of convict-peti- tioner, it would have an adverse impact on her mental well-being and he/she would be forced to re-visit the trauma and be reminded of the incident which she would be trying hard to forget.

9. But then, a balance has to be struck between the safety and emo- tional aspect of the victim and statutory rights of the accused. We are of the opinion that such balance would be achieved if the accused spends his time of parole at a place which is away from victim's residence. Such order would take care of the apprehension/anxiety expressed by learned AAG.

Another aspect is that for circumstances and provisions of IPC men- tioned in Rule 16(1) a prisoner is ineligible for release on parole till hav - ing served half of the sentence including remission. In case, release of the petitioner covered under Rule 16(1) is to be delayed till serving of half of the sentence it shall defeat the basic purpose of Rule 11 provid- ing for emergent release on humanitarian consideration. In other words, Rule 11 for release of prisoner for taking care of a seriously ill relative/ death of any close relative/property damage in natural calamity/mar- riage of prisoner or his children/delivery of prisoner's wife shall become otiose if the prisoner covered under Rule 16(1) has to wait till serving half of the sentence. ;|fi jktLFkku canh dkjkodk'k ij fjgk fu;e 2021 ds fu;e 16¼2½ ds vUrxZr iksDlks vf/kfu;e ds nks"kfl) vijk/k esa ltk dkV jgs canh dks fu;fer iSjksy ij fjgkbZ vuqer ugha gS] ijUrq bl U;k;ky; dh [k.MihB us vius mDr U;kf;d fu.kZ; esa ,sls ekeyksa esa vkikr iSjksy ij fjgk fd;s tkus dk fl)kUr izfrikfnr fd;k x;k gSA mi;qZDr U;kf;d fu.kZ; esa bl U;k;ky; dh [k.MihB }kjk mDr nksuksa fu;eksa ¼fu;e 11 o fu;e 16½ dks /;ku esa j[kdj gh vkns'k ikfjr fd;k x;k gS rFkk bl U;k;ky; dh [k.MihB }kjk ikfjr fu.kZ; bl U;k;ky; ij ck/;dkjh Hkh gSA orZeku~ izdj.k esa ;kph@canh dks fnukad 15-11-2022 dks nf.Mr fd;k x;k FkkA izeq[k fpfdRlkf/kdkjh lkekU; fpfdRlky; cwanh dh esfMdy cksMZ dh fjiksVZ ds vuqlkj ;kph@canh ds firk eukst xksLokeh Ancolosing Spondylitis uke dh nqyZHk chekjh ls xzflr gksuk crk, x, gSa ftlesa tksM+ izR;kjksi.k dh Hkh vko';drk gksuk o og bl ejht esa nk;sa dwYgs esa gksuk vafdr fd;k x;k gSA dkjkxkj esa mldk vkpj.k larks"kizn crk;k x;k gS rFkk iwoZ iSjksy ij fjgk fd, tkus [2025:RJ-JP:39059] (6 of 6) [CRLW-254/2025] ds nkSjku dksbZ izfrdwy rF; Hkh ;kph@canh ds fo:) vfHkys[k ij ugha vk;k gSA ;kph@canh vdsyk iq= crk;k x;k gSA ,slh fLFkfr esa izdj.k dh mDr ifjfLFkfr;ksa] izLrqr U;kf;d fu.kZ; esa izfrikfnr fl)kUr dks ns[krs gq, fu;e 11¼1½¼ii½ ,oa ekuoh; vk/kkj ij ;kph@canh dks vkikr iSjksy ij fjgk fd;k tkuk mfpr gSA ifj.kker% ;g iSjksy fjV ;kfpdk Lohdkj dh tkrh gS ,oa vkns'k fn;k tkrk gS fd ;fn canh viwoZ mQZ jgeku lacf/kr dkjkx`g] tgka og fu:) gS] ds l{ke vf/kdkjh ds larks"kizn ,d yk[k :i;s dk ca/ki= ,oa blh jkf'k dh ,d izfrHkwfr bu 'krksZa ds lkFk izLrqr djsa fd og nkSjkus vkikr iSjksy ¼emergent pa- role½ 'kkafr] ln~O;ogkj cuk;s j[ksxk ,oa vkijkf/kd xfrfof/k;ksa esa fyIr ugha gksxk ,oa dkjkodk'k vof/k lekIr gksus ij lacaf/kr dkjkx`g ds l{ke vf/kdkjh ds le{k mifLFkr gks tk;sxk] rks mls 15 fnol ¼fnukad 25-09-2025 ls 09-10-2025 rd½ ds fy;s vkikr iSjksy ij fjgk dj fn;k tk;sA canh dh vksj ls ca/ki= ,oa izfrHkwfr i= rLnhd gksus ij U;k;ky; dks Hksts tkoas ,oa mldh QksVks izfr fjdkWMZ gsrq j[kh tkos rFkk vkikr iSjksy vof/k dh lekfIr ij canh }kjk dkjkx`g esa leiZ.k djus esa vleFkZ jgus vFkok 'krksZa ds mYya?ku dh fLFkfr esa lacaf/kr tsy v/kh{kd vFkok l{ke vf/kdkjh bl U;k;ky; dks rqjUr lwfpr djsaxsA vkns'k dh izfr ;ksX; yksd vfHk;kstd ,oa lacaf/kr dkjkx`g] tgka canh fu:) gS] ds le{k vf/kdkjh dks izsf"kr dh tk;sA (SHUBHA MEHTA),J AJAY KUMAR SINGHAL /117
