Cr.WP No.15 of 2007. 14.5.2008. Present: Ms. Shweta Julka, Advocate, amicus curiae, for the petitioner. Mr. R.K. Bawa, Advocate General, with Mr. J.K. Verma, Dy. Advocate General, for the respondents. The petitioner has approached this Court with a prayer that a direction be issued for the non-action of the State which has not decided the application for parole. The learned Deputy Advocate General states that the application for parole has not been decided for the reason that the police report is against the petitioner. The statutory law provides the State has to take final decision in the matter. Accordingly, we direct the State to consider and dispose of the parole application of the petitioner in the light of Section 4 of the Himachal Pradesh Good Conduct Prisoners (Temporary Release) Act, 1968 within a period of one month from today. With these observations, the petition is finally disposed of. (Jagdish Bhalla), C.J. 14th May, 2008. (Rajiv Sharma), J. (tr)
