Mridula Bhatkar while hearing a petition filed byFarooq Motorwala ,
convict in the 1993 serial t rain blastscase, challenging refusal
of the Minister of State for Homeand Prisons to pass an order in

"Motorwala, w ho was sentenced to life imprisonment, was
released on parole in February this year. OnMarch 6, he applied for
extension of parole. However, when no order was passed till March
18, M otorwalamade enquiry with the concerned ministry and was
informed that no order s on parole applications or onextension
applications would be passed until the Lok Sabha elections as the
Code of Conduct is inprogress," Motorw ala's advocate N N Gavankar
said.
Irked with this response of the state government, Justice Patil
said, "Code of Conduct does not mean thatthe government will not
take any administrative decisions. Normal and routine functions of
the governmentcannot come to a standstill and be suspended. Has the
Election Commission passed any rule that parole or extension
applications cannot be decided during code of conduct?"
The court further observed that the rights of prisoners cannot
be affected. "Does this mean that the
government will not arres t anyone during code of conduct," the
court remarked.
The bench directed assistant public prosecutor K V Saste to t
ake instructions and posted the pe tition for hearing tomorrow.
