As per the affidavit, the Petitioner Ranvir had applied for parole on the ground of illness of his father on 20'h July, 20lI through Superintendent Jail.

While awaiting for verification report frorn the police station, the Petitioners came to know that their father had expired. As regards Petitioner Suresh, he had filed an application for parole on the ground of illness of the father, which was not forwarded by the Superintendent, Tihar Jail. Thereafter, they frled petitions before this Court on 9th August,20llfor grant of parole. Since the Petitioners had filed their petitions before this Court, their applications were not further processed. The Petitioners have approached this Court on 9ft August, 2011 when their father had died on 30ft July, 2011. The only reason why the Petitioners had to file the present petitionsr.before this Court is that no due diligence was shown by the Respondent on their applications. In fact, if verifications are received at an early date and acted upon, all this exercise can be avoided. The Principal Secretary, Home Departrnent, Govt. of NCT of Delhi is requested to look into the matter and ensure that systern is streamlined so that such instances do not occur again. No further orders are required to be passed in these writ petitions. Petitions stand disposed of. rMM- MUKTA GUPTA. J SEPTEMBER 22.20lllvkm
