Petitioner Versus STATE OF GOA THROUGH CHIEF SECRETARY (HOME) AND 2 ORS., ... Respondents Ms. Asha Dessai, Advocate for the Petitioner. Ms. W. Coutinho, Public Prosecutor for the Respondents. Coram:- N. A. BRITTO, J. Date:- 6th July, 2009 P.C. Heard. It appears that the petitioner had filed an application for his release on parole as the petitioner wanted to be of his assistance to his daughter who was answering CET exam in Karnataka in the third and fourth week of April, 2009. Although another reminder was sent on 7.5.2009, still the petition was not disposed of by Inspector General of Prisons. As a result of which the application filed by the petitioner has become infructuous. There is no point in giving direction to the Inspector General of Prisons to dispose of the said petition. It is seen that the petitions filed by the prisoners for release on parole have not been attended by the IGP, promptly. Considering that the petition has become infructuous, learned Counsel on behalf of the Petitioner seeks leave to withdraw this petition with leave to file a fresh application for release on parole. In case such an application is filed by the petitioner, the Inspector General of Prisons is directed to dispose of the same as expeditiously as possible. In any event, the application be disposed of within a period of four weeks of filing. N. A. BRITTO, J. at*
