Hem Singh @ Hemu v. State of NCT of Delhi
Case brief
What is this about?

The court held that the onus lay on the petitioner to arrange funds to avail the benefit originally granted, noting the applicant failed to do so within the granted timeframe before seeking the extension. The writ petition was dismissed.
What did the court decide?
Exemption was not allowed; the writ petition was dismissed, and the petitioner was directed to surrender after the expiry of the original parole period.
