Orissa High Court Grants Interim Bail to Life-Convict to Support Daughter in Matric Exam

The Orissa High Court granted interim bail to a life-convict so he could support his daughter appearing for her matriculation examination.

The Court noted the humanitarian aspect of the petition and balanced it against the seriousness of the crime. It observed that the temporary release would not impede the progress of justice or prejudice the prosecution.

The bench directed the petitioner to surrender before the trial court after the specified interim bail period, stressing that the relief is limited and subject to conditions.

The order reflects the Court’s sensitivity to family obligations in appropriate cases.
