- 1 - IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION No. 1345 OF 2007 IN CRIMINAL APPEAL No. 517 OF 2005 Md. Farukh @ Akram A.R. Kazi Applicant Vs. State of Maharashtra Respondent Sri S. Khalif i/b Amin Solkar, advocate for the Applicant. Sri P. S. Hingorani, APP for the respondent. CORAM : Sri R.M.S. KHANDEPARKAR & Sri A. A. SAYED, JJ. DATE : DECEMBER 17, 2007. P.C. . Heard the learned advocate for the applicant and the learned APP for the respondent. The Superintendent of Kolhapur Central Prison is present in person, in terms of the order dated 13th December 2007. He has placed before us the records in relation to the applicant, which apparently disclose that the applicant has not been sent to any solitary confinement cell. On the contrary, - 2 - he has been transferred to "Anda barrack" cell where apart from the applicant, there are four more prisoners. The transfer order itself shows that the same has been on account of misbehaviour on the part of the applicant, and in the interest of proper administration of the jail. In the circumstances, there is absolutely no substance in the contention of the applicant that he has been sent to solitary confinement cell. The record also disclose that the father of the applicant was allowed to meet the prisoner in the month of September. It is further contention on behalf of the respondent that thereafter father of applicant has not visited the applicant. The authorities have no difficulty in allowing the relatives to meet the accused person. We accept the said statement on behalf of the respondent. 2. It is to be noted that we were compelled to pass the order dated 13th December 2007 primarily on account of the statement made on behalf of the applicant that without any legitimate reason, he has been - 3 - transferred on 16th October 2007 to solitary confinement cell. Apparently statement is not correct. In the circumstances therefore, application is without any substance and is hereby dismissed. Sd/- [ R.M.S. KHANDEPARKAR, J.] Sd/- [ A. A. SAYED J.]
