IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE - CRIMINAL CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO.2396 OF 2009 Altaf Miraso Shaikh .... Petitioner Vs. The State of Maharashtra .... Respondent Shri A.S. Gadkari, APP, for the State. CORAM: BILAL NAZKI & A.R. JOSHI, JJ. DATED: SEPTEMBER 23, 2009 P.C: The learned APP, on instructions, submits that it is true that an application was received by the Divisional Commissioner on 19-4-2008 from the petitioner seeking parole. However, as the application was misplaced, therefore, no order could be passed. Now the application has been traced and it is under consideration. In this view of the matter, we direct that the application of the petitioner which is pending for more than one-and-half year be decided within one week and the order be communicated to the petitioner. With these directions, the petition is disposed of. (BILAL NAZKI, J.) (A.R. JOSHI, J.)
