India's Union Home Ministry is contemplating granting a short parole to Jagtar SIngh Hawara- a key convict in former Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh assassination  case-on human grounds, after his request by the state government for the same.

The Development came after Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann met the Governor once against to seek his intervention for releasing Hawara. 

Hawara is currently service a life term in Tihar jail in New Delhi. He had spent around 31 years in prison. 

Four days ago, the CM wrote to the governor requesting him to grant Hawara a 10-day parole so that he could meet his critically ill mother.
