Therefore, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>there can be no dispute with the proposition that anybody who is behind bars and is ill\u00adtreated or is deprived of his liberties, may approach the Court for a writ of habeas corpus<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cA writ petition by a prisoner is maintainable if his fundamental rights are violated.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court, further, said that the grant of remission or parole is not a right vested with the prisoner.\u00a0 It is a privilege available to the prisoner on fulfilling certain conditions.\u00a0 This is a discretionary power which has to be exercised by the authorities conferred with such powers under the relevant rules\/regulations. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>The court cannot exercise these powers though once the powers are exercised, the Court may hold that the exercise of powers is not in accordance with rules<\/em>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">[Home Secretary (Prison) v.
