With reference to India, consider the following statements:1.When a prisoner makes out a sufficient case, parole cannot be denied to such

1. A

   1 only

   1 only. Parole is not a justiciable right merely because a prisoner ‘makes out a case’.

2. B

   2 only

   2 only. States frame their own parole rules.

3. C

   Both 1 and 2

   Both. Statement 1 over-states parole as a right.

4. D

   Neither 1 nor 2

   Neither. Statement 2 holds.

Summary. Official key is (b) 2 only. Parole and furlough sit in State prison rules. They are concessions, not a fundamental right that cannot be refused once a prisoner argues a case.
