1. That the present writ petition has been filed by petitioner under Article 226 of Constitution of India read with Section 482 Code of Criminal Procedure 1973 for seeking extension of Parole for Eight Weeks on medical grounds.
2. That during the course of verification of medical documents of petitioner, the Medical Superintendent of Dr Rajendra Prasad Centre for Ophthalmic Sciences, AIIMS, New Delhi, has confirmed that the patient/petitioner has visited the OPD in RP Centre (Eye Centre), AIIMS New Delhi on 25/07/2023 and OPD Card & Private Ward Booking Information of patient were prepared and the doctor has advised the patient to get admitted in RP Eye Centre on 04.08.2023/ Further the OPD card and Private Ward Booking Information annexed with the petition have been verified as genuine.

5. In view of the submissions made, the parole is extended for three weeks on the terms and conditions as contained in order dated 31.05.2023. However, the parole in this case has been granted on the peculiar facts and circumstances and the same shall not be taken as a precedent.
6. Accordingly, the present petition and application stands disposed of.
