    Case Summary: WPCR No. 202/2026 — Dheluram v. State of Chhattisgarh The Chhattisgarh High Court allowed the petition of a 68-year-old convicted prisoner, Dheluram, quashing the District Magistrate's arbitrary rejection of his medical parole application. The court held that procedural technicalities cannot override fundamental rights under Article 21 when a prisoner faces grave medical exigency—here, amputation of his leg, post-operative complications, bedsores, and a cerebellar infarct—especially when prison medical infrastructure is demonstrably inadequate. The court directed his immediate release on remission, finding the rejection based on rigid, irrelevant considerations while ignoring humanitarian and medical necessity aspects. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
