Meena Kumari) This writ petition is taken up on the basis of the petition dated 26.09.2005 sent by the petitioner wherein the petitioner stated that her father, K.Kumar Shastri, Advocate at Bangalore who is in judicial custody since 27.08.2005 in connection with Crime No. 363 of 2005 is suffering from Unstrible Angina and HTN-DM and that the jail authorities are not providing proper medical aid and diet to him. She further alleges that the jail authorities are harassing her father on one pretext or the other. She, therefore, sought appropriate directions to be issued to the respondent- authorities. When the matter was taken up for hearing on 18.10.2005, learned Government Pleader for Home submitted that appointment has been fixed with Gandhi Hospital on 28.10.2005 for providing medical aid to the father of the petitioner. In those circumstances, this Court directed the 1st respondent to provide necessary diet to the father of the petitioner at her cost, if the petitioner so desires and directed the matter to be listed today. In the counter affidavit filed by the respondents, it is stated that special medical care is being provided to the accused since his admission in the prison. They also denied the allegation that the authorities are not providing proper medical aid and diet to the accused. It is stated that in view of the amended rules, no cooked food is allowed from outside on account of security reasons and that the petitioner’s father will be provided with fruits and other required items on payment of costs. In the facts and circumstances of the case and in view of the averments made by the respondents in the counter affidavit, we permit the petitioner to provide food to her father, other than cooked food, as per the rules and according to the need. With the above observations, the writ petition is dismissed. ___________________ T. Meena Kumari,J Date: 24.10.2005 _____________ K.C. Bhanu,J pnb
