IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO. 18 OF 2008 GOVIND THAPA PRESENTLY LODGED IN CENTRAL JAIL AGUADA ... Petitioner Versus INSPECTOR GENERAL OF PRISONS AND ANR., ... Respondents Ms. Aparna Shirodkar, Advocate under Legal Aid Scheme for the Petitioner. Ms. Winnie Coutinho, Public Prosecutor for the Respondents. Coram:- N. A. BRITTO, J. Date:- 23rd June, 2008 P.C.:- Heard Ms. Aparna Shirodkar, learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the Petitioner and Ms. Winnie Coutinho, learned Public Prosecutor on behalf of the Respondents. The allegation of the Petitioner who is a convict undergoing sentence is that on 17-3-2008 at about 7.00 p.m. he was pulled out from Cell No.6 and assaulted with lathis and kicks. After the petition was received in the Registry of this Court, on 5-6-2008 this Court directed the Respondents to get the convict medically examined and it appears that pursuant thereto the Petitioner was produced before Dr. Dubhashi on 17-6-2008 and who has recorded that the Petitioner did not have any medical complaints. He was directed to be referred to Institute of Psychiatry & Human Behaviour who by a separate Report dated 18-6-2008 has opined that the Petitioner is suffering from partial remission of Schizophrenia and requires medication. Nevertheless, the incident dated 17-3-2008 needs to be looked into. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, it is desirable that the learned Sessions Judge inquires into the said incident, in one of his jail visits, and submits a report to this Court. The petition is disposed of on the above terms. Further action, if any, would be taken in accordance with the report to be submitted by the learned Sessions Judge. N. A. BRITTO, J. RD.
