The State of Maharashtra through Secretary, Home Department, Mantralaya, Mumbai and others -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's Orders or Court's or Judge's Orders directions and Registrar's orders. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Shri V.H. Khaparde, Adv. (appointed) for petitioners except petitioner No.3] [Smt. K.S. Joshi, APP for respondents] CORAM:- A.H. JOSHI AND A.B. CHAUDHARI, JJ. DATED :- 15.01.2009 1. The application received from the under trial prisoners was treated as writ petition. They have thereafter submitted various applications which are kept on record. 2. Four out of five petitioners are already released on bail. 3. From time to time report and affidavits were ordered. Even two reports of the Sessions Judges based on inspection and visit made by them as per the directions by this Court are on record. 4. The grievances pointed out in various applications are multifarious and manifold. 2 5. We have also seen a letter of one of the prisoners, namely, Arun Thomas Ferreira, informing this Court that he wants to appear in person. Arun Thomas Ferreria may file fresh petition if he wants, representing the exact grievance and exact relief he wants with or without assistance of appointed Advocate Shri V.H. Khaparde. 6. In this background, we would like to amicus curiae to examine as to what grievance still survives and file proper petition after securing entire information which he deems relevant to have at his hand after he interviews the under trial prisoner Shri Arun Thomas Ferreria who is not so far released. 7. Needless to mention that learned Advocate Shri V.H. Khaparde who was appointed would be free to visit the jail, meet the said prisoner and seek such information as he secures from the said prisoner if he is willing to take assistance of said appointed Advocate. 8. With the above observations without affecting any of the liberties available to the petitioners to file fresh petition, present petition is disposed of. 9. Learned Advocate Shri V.H. Khaparde says that he would not claim any fees in this matter as what he is doing is service to under trial prisoners. JUDGE JUDGE ssw
