Holding

The petition was dismissed as no case was made out while the parole application remained pending before the authority.

Summary

The petitioner, represented by the jail, filed a Special Criminal Application seeking parole leave. The court noted that the parole application was still pending before the appropriate authority. Since the matter was already before the authority, the court found no ground to entertain the petition. Consequently, the petition was rejected. The court directed the concerned jail authority to decide the pending parole application within three weeks of receiving a copy of the order. The registry was instructed to communicate the order to the jail authority.
