In the said letter it is indicated that the Shraddha ceremony is 25.07.2025, since the same is not considered the present writ petition is filed. [5] It is further observed in the writ petition the date of Shraddha ceremony which was earlier fixed on 25.07.2025 has been erased and it is indicated that the same would be held on 18.08.2025 and thus, it has been prayed for parole of the convict person. Since, the matter is pending before the concerned respondent(s), at this juncture, it is not for this Court to adjudicate the same. [6] In view of the same, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, this present writ petition is disposed of directing the concerned respondent(s) to take a decision in light of the aforesaid communication dated 19.07.2025 as expeditiously as possible in accordance with law.
