CORAM : NITIN JAMDAR & N.R. BORKAR, JJ.
DATE : 15 JULY 2022
P.C. :-
The Petitioner has sought Emergency (Covid-19) Parole which was rejected by the impugned order. The learned APP points out that post May 2022 the policy/decision of the State of releasing the convicts on Emergency (Covid-19) Parole has been discontinued. The relief as sought for by the Petitioner therefore cannot be granted.
