NEWDELHI: The lieutenant governor (LG) has dismissed plea of incarcerat­ed INLD leader Ajay Chautala seeking a month’s parole to prepare for his exam and attend a wedding, Delhi high court was informed on Friday.

The submission was made before justice Yogesh Khanna, who went through the LG order and said that since the decision had been taken, his applicatio­n has become infructuou­s.

Chautala had approached the high court alleging that the Tihar jail authoritie­s have not decided his applicatio­n for parole despite the fact that he has to attend the wedding of his niece.

Seeking a direction to the competent authority to decide his applicatio­n, he had also sought parole to prepare for his PG diploma exams to be held from June 28 to July 12.
