Mr. Vishal Raj Mehta, public prosecutor for the State. BY THE COURT (PER HON'BLE PANWAR,J.) By a communication addressed to this Court, petitioner Surjeet Kaur widow of Late Shri Maniram Baori seeks transfer of convict Narayan Singh brother of petitioner Surjeet Kaur who is presently lodged at Central Jail Bikaner to Central Jail, Sriganganagar. A reply to the petition has been filed by respondent State stating therein that the application seeking transfer from Central Jail, Bikaner to Central Jail, Sriganganagar in respect of convict Narayan Singh has been forwarded to the Director General, Prisons, Jaipur vide letter dated 15.2.2007 and 2 power for transfer of a convict prisoner is vested with the Director General, Prisons, Jaipur in view of the provisions of Rajasthan Prisons Rules, 1951, Part-25, Section 5, Rule 153. We have heard learned public prosecutor. It appears that the application has been forwarded to the Director General, Prisons, Jaipur by letter dated 15.2.2007, almost one year has since then elapsed and same has not yet been decided as per the reply of the State. In the circumstances, therefore, We consider it appropriate to direct the Director General, Prisons, Jaipur to decide the case of the convict Narayan Singh for his transfer from Central Jail, Bikaner to Central Jail, Sriganganagar utmost expeditiously preferably within two months from today. It is expected that the Director General, Prisons, Jaipur shall decide the matter objectively and if the decision does not find favour to the convict, it would be open for the convict to move afresh to this Court. With these directions, the petition stands disposed of. (KISHAN SWAROOP CHAUDHARI),J. (H.R.PANWAR), J. rp
