They can deny parole even if a sufficient case is made, based on factors like public safety or the prisoner's conduct.
Statement 2: Prisons are a state subject in India, meaning the states have the authority to manage and administer their prison systems. This includes creating their own rules and regulations for prisoners' release on parole.
