The Court ordered that the petitioner be released on parole for a period of seven days, subject to furnishing a personal bond of Rs 10,000 to the jail authority. The order also directed the petitioner to surrender to the jail authority at the expiry of the parole period and directed the Registry to communicate the order to the concerned jail.
