1 D.B.CIVIL WRIT (PAROLE) NO.11682/2008 (Ranjeet Singh Vs. State of Raj.) Date of Judgment :: 5th January, 2009 PRESENT HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE NARENDRA KUMAR JAIN HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GUMAN SINGH By post. Mr. B.S.Chhaba, Public Prosecutor for the State. Heard learned Public Prosecutor for the State. The convict petitioner has preferred this letter petition for his transfer from Central Jail, Kota to District Jail, Bundi. The learned Public Prosecutor has raised an objection that the petitioner has filed this petition directly before this court without approaching the competent authority prescribed under Sec.8 of the Rajasthan Prisoners Act, 1960 and Rule 153 of the Rajasthan Prisoners Rules, 1951, therefore, this petition is liable to be dismissed. We have considered the contents of petition and submissions of learned Public Prosecutor. Section 8 of the Act of 1960 2 permits the State Government to remove the prisoners. Similar is the provision under rule 153 of the Rules of 1951. Normally this court does not entertain such type of petition for transferring the convict from one jail to another jail directly. The petitioner should have approached the concerned authority in this regard. In these circumstances, we are not inclined to entertain this petition and the same is accordingly dismissed on this ground alone. However, it will be open for the petitioner to approach the appropriate authority for his grievance and in case he is not satisfied with the order passed by the concerned authority, then it will be open for him to approach this court again.
