His appeal has been dismissed on 27th November, 2014. Petitioner seeks parole in order to file Special Leave Petition in the Supreme Court.

Government of N.C.T. of Delhi has dismissed the application of petitioner for grant of parole on the ground that there is possibility of petitioner jumping the parole as also in view of the fact that petitioner was re-admitted in jail only on 7th June, 2014 and has not completed one year.
