Recently, Ram Rahim came out on a 30 -day parole before the Delhi elections, which is the 13th incident of his coming out of jail in the last four years. He was sentenced to 20 years in the case of rape of two disciples in August 2017, after which he was given 30 days parole on January 28.

A petition was submitted to the Supreme Court against Ram Rahim’s frequent release from jail. However, the Supreme Court refused to hear the case. This petition was filed by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, in which objection was raised by the Haryana government’s decision to give parole to Ram Rahim.
A bench of Supreme Court Justice BR Gavai and Justice Prashant Kumar Mishra clarified that the petition is against only one person rather than raising the issue of widespread public interest. It is noteworthy that SGPC had also resorted to the Punjab and Haryana High Court earlier.
The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee has alleged that the Haryana government is misusing its powers under Section 11 of the Haryana Good Conduct Principal (Temporary Relations) Act, 2022 while providing temporary release to Ram Rahim. The SGPC counsel also said that the authorities gave parole or furlo several times between 2022 and 2024.
