A special bench of justices Geeta Mittal and Justice J R Midha granted parole to Vishal on a personal bond of Rs 1 lakh and a surety of the like amount to the satisfaction of the court.
The court, however, directed Vishal to remain within the NCR region and restrained him from meeting any of the witnesses in the Katara murder case.
"The petitioner is allowed parole for a period starting from May 20 to 29 (both days inclusive) for attending wedding of his brother Vivek Yadav. On expiry of the parole he shall surrender before the Tihar Jail superintendent," it said.
"It has been verified by the state that the marriage ceremony of Vishal Yadav's cousin is scheduled for May 24. Police has verified the booking of hotel for the marriage.

Recently, justices Mittal and Midha had upheld the trial court verdict in the case convicting Vishal, his cousin Vikas and Sukhdev Pehalwan for kidnapping and murder.
The trial court had in May, 2008, awarded life sentence to trio for the murder of Nitish Katara.
Nitish, belonging to Katara caste, was abducted and killed by Vikas, Vishal and Pehalwan on the night of February 17, 2002 as the Yadavs did not approve of the victim's affair with Bharti, daughter of D P Yadav, as they belong to different castes, the high court had said while upholding their conviction on April 3.
