Gangster Kala Jatheri has been Granted Custody Parole in order to Marry his Girlfriend Madam Minj

Delhi’s Dwarka court approved gangster Sandeep, alias Kala Jatheri’s, custody parole to wed lady gangster Madam Minj, also known as Anuradha Chaudhary. Kala Jatheri and his partner were apprehended by Delhi Police’s Special Cell in Saharanpur in July 2021. A bounty of Rs 7 lakh was placed on Kala’s head.

Facing numerous charges, including those under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA), for allegedly leading an organised crime syndicate, Sandeep received this concession from Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ) Deepak Wason. The decision followed a review of arguments presented by Sandeep’s legal team and an assessment of the Delhi Police’s response.

The court directed authorities to accompany Sandeep for his wedding ceremony scheduled for March 12, between 10 am and 4 pm, with Delhi Police assigned to ensure security. Additionally, Sandeep is to be escorted to Village Jatheri on March 13 for the Grih Pravesh ceremony, scheduled between 10 am and 1 pm.

Legal grounds for custody parole application

An application for custody parole was submitted on behalf of Sandeep, relating to a case filed at Police Station Dwarka South under sections 307 (Attempt to murder), 387 (Extortion), 120B (Criminal Conspiracy), and the Arms Act. Sandeep sought parole on humanitarian grounds to attend his scheduled wedding, set by his family for March 12, 2024, at 10 am. The Grih Pravesh ceremony is planned for March 13 at 11 am in Village Jatheri, Sonipat, Haryana, where the couple traditionally enters their matrimonial home.

Humanitarian justification for custody parole

Representing Sandeep, Advocate Rohit Dalal argued that marriage is a fundamental right guaranteed under Article 21 of the Indian Constitution. Both Sandeep and his fiancée meet the legal age requirements stipulated by the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. Denying Sandeep the opportunity to marry would violate his constitutional rights.

Furthermore, marriage holds considerable social significance, and Sandeep aims to establish a family and lead a dignified life in society. Additionally, Sandeep’s elderly parents are in poor health, with his mother needing care as his father is bedridden.
