over a decade and necessary medical details are not furnished to verify whether the petitioner is justified in her case that her husband, for emergency reasons, must be granted parole.

¶31

When queried in the light of this response, the learned counsel for the petitioner proposes to argue for General Parole. This Court is of the view that this petition cannot be entertained, and if the petitioner makes out a case for General Parole, it must be on an independent cause of action. Hence, without prejudice to file such application as contemplated under the Karnataka Prisons and Correctional Services Manual, 2021, the present petition is disposed of.
