Central Jail

With Tihar jail authorities agreeing to introduce a common room as well as for provision for a television by end-September 2020, the Delhi High court today disposed of a petition seeking facilities for high security ward prisoners, saying there was no further need for monitoring of the situation.

IN a surprising development, DG (Prisons) Sandeep Goel had to tender an unconditional apology for an inappropriate explanation submitted by the Superintendent, Central Jail I, Tis Hazari, for keeping a person in unlawful detention even after the Court had granted him bail in all his cases.

The Delhi High Court on Wednesday while dealing with the writ petition filed by a Prisoner of Central Jail in Rohini, New Delhi, directed the Jail Superintendent to look into his complaint of being ill-treated or harassed by other inmates in collusion with Jail officials.
