"Besides, while granting him parole, the Haryana government did not stop or prevented or put a rider on the accused stating that he will not use a cell phone, electronic gadgets or engage in uploading religious discourses on social media. Ram Rahim has been doing such things with impunity. When the accused was granted parole he should have been given clear-cut instructions that he will not venture out of his home or meet people or perform religious discourses. Hence, his parole must be rejected."
