Learned counsel for petitioner submits that the impugned order is factually flawed since the co-convict Sunil has already expired on 30.01.2024. 4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of ASC accepts notice and in all fairness admits that the impugned order suffers infirmity on the above lines. 5. With consent of both sides, this petition is disposed of by setting aside the impugned order and directing the competent authority to take fresh decision on the parole application of the petitioner positively within ten days. It is made clear that if fresh decision is not taken by competent authority within ten days from today, the petitioner shall be at liberty to file fresh petition in this Court. 6. For compliance, copy of this order be sent to the concerned Jail Superintendent forthwith.
