TO JUDGE. app/- V.GIRI, J. ------------------------- W.P ( C) No.10050 of 2009 ------------------------------------ Dated this the 28th July, 2009 J U D G M E N T The writ petition has been filed seeking direction to the respondent against the rejection of the parole of Smt. Binitha Kumari who is undergoing life imprisonment as a convict in the Central Prison, Poojappura. I do not think that the petitioner has the locus standi to seek any relief on behalf of Smt. Binitha Kumari. Petitioner claims to be a step son. It is admitted that there has been no lawful process of adoption under which the petitioner was adopted by the convict in this case. Nor has the petitioner's father married Smt.Binitha Kumari. In these circumstances, I am satisfied that the petitioner cannot seek any relief in relation to Smt.Binitha Kumari. Hence the writ petition is dismissed. W.P ( C) No.10050 of 2009 2 But it is made clear that this judgment will not stand in the way of Smt.Binitha Kumari or any other person competent to represent her interests taking appropriate action for security her parole.
