DB: Hon'ble Shri Justice Narendra Kumar Vyas & Hon’ble Shri Justice Sudhir Kumar Order on Board 01/10 /2026 Per Narendra Kumar Vyas J. 1. This petition has been filed by the petitioner assailing order dated 07.07.2026 passed by respondent No. 3/District Magistrate, Balodabazar, District- Balodabazar- Bhatapara by which the application preferred by the petitioner for releasing him on parole has been rejected. 2. It has been brought to the notice of this Court by the Secretary, High Court Legal Aid Committee vide its memo dated 30.09.2026 that an ARUN KUMAR DEWANGAN Digitally signed by ARUN KUMAR DEWANGAN Date: 2026.10.01 17:42:41 +0530 SLP has been preferred against the judgment dated 11.03.2025 passed by this Court in CRA No. 236/2024. 3. Having regard to the established tenets of judicial discipline and the sub-judice status of the matter before Hon’ble the Supreme Court, we are of the considered opinion that it would be judicially improper to entertain or adjudicate upon the instant petition for grant of parole while the SLP is pending before Hon’ble the Supreme Court. 4. Since the matter is pending before Hon’ble the Supreme Court, as such, this Court cannot consider the instant petition for grant of parole to the petitioner at this stage. 5. Accordingly, the instant petition is disposed of. Sd/- (Narendra Kumar Vyas) Judge Sd/- (Sudhir Kumar) Judge - Arun
