LAVANDE & P.D. KODE, JJ. DATED : MARCH 04, 2010. Heard Mr. R.R. Shrivastava, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. T.A. Mirza, learned APP for the respondents. The grievance of the petitioner in the petition is that in July 2009 he had filed application seeking parole and he had not been communicated the decision taken on the said application. The reply filed on behalf of the respondents does not discloses that the same has been rejected by the respondents on the ground that surety offered by the petitioner is not ready to stand as surety for the petitioner. In view of the above, we do not find any ground to interfere with the decision taken by the competent authority. Hence, the petition is dismissed. However, disposal of the petition will not come in the way of the petitioner from filing fresh application seeking parole, if 2 he so advice and offering competent surety. In case such application is filed the competent authority shall take appropriate decision at the earliest in accordance with the law. Writ Petition stands dismissed subject to aforesaid observations. The fees of the learned counsel for the petitioner Mr. R.R. Shrivastava are quantified at Rs.750/-. JUDGE JUDGE GULANDE
