The advocate on record for the Appellant, who is Applicant in this application had no information about the application submitted through jail. He has, however, appeared in view of the appearance notified on the board. It is seen from the record that the Applicant had filed similar application for bail through advocate on the earlier occasion, which was decided on merits vide order dated 24 th September, 2009 being Criminal Application No. 1074 of 2009. Even in the said application, the argument that the Applicant’s mother is ill and 2 13 appa.867.10 there was no one to look after her, has been considered. While rejecting the bail application, the Court however, gave liberty to the Applicant to apply for parole, if so advised, which can be considered on its own merits. By the present application, it is prayed that the Applicant be released on temporary bail on the ground that his mother is unwell and needs immediate medical attention. We treat this application as application for parole. The same is disposed of with direction to the appropriate authority to consider it on merits in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible and in any case within four weeks from today. The decision so taken be communicated to the Applicant, who is in jail. 2 All concerned to act on the authenticated copy of this order duly attested by the Section Officer. 3 Application disposed of accordingly.
