By this petition, the petitioner seeks parole and also challenges the communication dated 31st October, 2017 whereby his application seeking parole on the ground that he has to engage senior counsel for filing the SLP before the Hon'ble Supreme Court, to arrange funds for the same and maintain social ties was dismissed.

Status report has been handed over which is taken on record. As per the status report verification was done of the residential address of the petitioner that is H. No. C-307, Gali No. 16, Old Mustafabad, Delhi where the father of the petitioner, namely, Jamshed met the Investigating Officer. Jamshed father of the petitioner informed that he was residing at the given W.P.(CRL) 977/2018
