The application for parole of the applicant was rejected by the concerned authority considering the fact that the native of the applicant is from a town of Bihar State. As per the averments made in the application, his family is residing at Ahmedabad, he has his own house in Ahmedabad and ration card is also there. This shows that without verifying the papers or without applying the mind, the authority has, in mechanical terms, passed the order rejecting the application. It is incumbent upon the authority to call for police opinion from Ahmedabad as the crime is committed in Ahmedabad and he is permanent resident of Ahmedabad. In view of the above, the jail authority is directed to verify the same and report before this Court. S.O. to 9.5.2012. Copy of this order be provided to learned APP.
