3. At the outset, learned counsel appearing on behalf of ASC submits that the petition deserves to be dismissed with cost. It is submitted that the application, which according to the petitioner, was thumb marked and sent on 19.08.2026 was never received by the department because according to the tracking report retrieved by him, the envelope of the application mentioned incomplete address. More importantly, it is submitted by learned counsel that on 19.08.2026, when the parole application was allegedly dispatched, the petitioner was already on furlough and could have signed the same. It is submitted that the thumb mark, which is on the said application, appears to have been fabricated as it is fudged and cannot be verified.
4. Further, there is no reason as to why the parole application would not be handed over personally by the petitioner to the Jail Superintendent.
5. Even the present petition is supported by the affidavit of only some friend and not a close relative of the petitioner.
6. In view of above circumstances, it is not clear if the petitioner has so far even applied before the competent authority for grant of parole. The petition and the accompanying application are dismissed.
