The Delhi High Court recently granted one month's parole to a murder convict who is sentenced to life imprisonment, for accompanying his son to Board examinations.

"Considering the importance of parental involvement in a child's education, it is important to facilitate such opportunities, particularly in circumstances where the father demonstrates a commitment to his parental responsibilities, and where the other parent i.e. the petitioner's wife may not be in a position to accompany the son to examination centre," Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma said. HC on Adoption: Delhi High Court Upholds Bar on Adoption of 'Normal Child' if Parents Already Have Two Children, Says 'Right To Adopt Not Fundamental Right'.
