R1 & R2 BY GOVT.PLEADER SRI.P.NARAYANAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 10/12/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: svs/ ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````` W.P.(C) No. 36423 of 2010 C ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Dated this the 10th day of December, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner has approached this Court praying that the respondents should be directed to grant a week's leave to his father Sri.V.Chellappan, Prisoner No.C.5639 of Central Prison, Poojappura, Thiruvananthapuram for his treatment for heart ailments. 2. It is the case of the petitioner that his father is undergoing imprisonment on being convicted for the offence under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. It is stated that he had undergone a bypass surgery in the Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences at Ernakulam and that for review he has to attend the hospital for which the leave is required. It is in this background, the writ petition is filed seeking a direction as above. 3. Learned Government Pleader has obtained instructions from the Superintendent of the Central Jail. According to the Superintendent, while convicting and W.P.(C) No.36423/10 : 2 : sentencing the petitioner's father, the Judicial First Class Magistrate, Kayamkulam has ordered that he should be given regular medical check up. It is stated that the prisoner was examined by the Jail Medical Officer and that he has been admitted in the Jail Hospital. It is also stated that necessary arrangements will be made to take the petitioner's father for his regular medical check up at Amrita Hospital, Ernakulam on 22-12-2010. 4. Thus, from the instructions obtained by the learned Government Pleader, it is evident that the trial court and also the jail authorities are fully conscious of the necessity of giving medical treatment to the petitioner's father and that they have also made arrangements for producing the petitioner's father at the Amrita Hospital itself for his medical check up. In such circumstances, I do not think it necessary to pass any further orders as sought for. Writ petition fails and it is dismissed. Sd/- (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) aks
