IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Criminal Writ Petition No.259 of 2010 Satish Chaudhari @ Mintoo …..…Petitioner Versus State of Uttarakhand and others. .…Respondents None appears on behalf of the petitioner. Mr. S.S. Adhikari, learned A.G.A. for the State/respondents. Hon’ble B.C. Kandpal, J. Hon’ble Nirmal Yadav, J. This writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India has been filed by the petitioner praying therein to issue a writ in the nature of Mandamus commanding the respondents to provide the petitioner adequate security, as and when, he is shifted from District Jail to the court concerned where his cases are to be fixed. From the perusal of the writ petition, it appears that petitioner has demanded for adequate security in connection with the cases registered at Police station Kaladungi and it also reveals that C.J.M., Nainital and C.J.M, U.S. Nagar on various dates have been passing the orders to the District Jail Superintendent, Hardwar and Dehradun for providing the adequate security to the petitioner, as and when, he is brought from the Jail to court concerned on the date fixed. Orders passed by C.J.M., Nainital and C.J.M., U.S. Nagar on different dates are available on record as Annexures to the writ petition. 2 A counter affidavit filed by the State also reveals that S.S.P., Hardwar has been providing adequate security as per the demand letter sent by Superintendent of Jail, Hardwar, as and when, date is fixed before the court concerned in order to produce the petitioner. It is, therefore, quite clear that as and when, the adequate security is required by the petitioner, the same is being provided to him on the basis of demand letter sent by the Superintendent of District Jail (where he is lodged at the relevant time). For the reasons stated above, we do not find any ground to issue any writ in the nature of Mandamus directing the respondents to provide adequate security to the petitioner, as and when, the same is being required, especially under the circumstance that as and when the adequate security is required by the petitioner, the same is being provided by the concerned authority. With the aforesaid observations, the writ petition is disposed of finally. (Nirmal Yadav, J.) (B.C. Kandpal, J.) 22.06.2010 SKS
