CORAM : D.D. SINHA AND P.B. VARALE, JJ. DATED : SEPTEMBER 29, 2009 Heard Ms. Dubey, learned Counsel for the petitioner, and Shri Jichkar, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the respondents. Ms. Dubey, learned Counsel for the petitioner, states that grievance of the petitioner is in respect of inaction on the part of the Jail Authorities to provide proper medical treatment to the petitioner. It is submitted that petitioner is suffering from hydrolysis and, therefore, requires necessary medical treatment off and on. However, same is not given to the petitioner properly and, therefore, petitioner has filed the petition. 2 Shri Jichkar, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the respondents, states that allegations made against the Jail Authorities are not correct. It is submitted that medical treatment was provided to the petitioner by the Medical Officer attached to the Central Prison as and when necessary and the petitioner was also sent to the Government Medical Hospital for necessary treatment whenever required. It is further submitted that statement of the petitioner was recorded on 28.9.2009 wherein petitioner has specifically stated that he has no complaint about the kind of the medical treatment provided by the Medical Officer at Central Prison, Nagpur as well as Doctors at Government Medical Hospital, Nagpur. He has also stated in his statement that whenever it was necessary, he was taken to the Government Medical Hospital where Doctors had taken his x-ray and also given proper medical treatment. The petitioner has specifically stated that he has no grievance about the kind of medical treatment provided to him by the Medical Officers at the aforesaid Centres. In the backdrop of the above referred 3 facts, it appears that at this stage petitioner does not have any grievance about the kind of medical treatment, which is provided to him and we hope and trust that Jail Authorities shall ensure that proper medical treatment is provided to the petitioner in future whenever necessary. It is always open for the prisoners to approach this Court whenever Jail Authorities do not grant necessary medical treatment to them or there is negligence on their part to provide necessary medical treatment to the inmates of the prison. With these observations, the criminal writ petition is disposed of. JUDGE JUDGE khj
