    The court allowed the writ petition and granted six weeks of general parole to life-sentenced prisoner Dodda Pakeerappa on humanitarian grounds, finding that his elderly, ailing mother wished to spend her final days with him. The court quashed the prison authorities' earlier rejections, citing photographs and material on record showing the mother's poor health condition, and imposed standard parole conditions including weekly police attendance.
