State of Maharashtra 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 N.S. Bhat, Adv. for petitioner] [Shri J.B. Jaiswal, APP for respondents] CORAM:- A.P. LAVANDE & A.B. CHAUDHARI, JJ. DATED :- 08.04.2008 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the respondents. By this petition, the petitioner seeks direction against the respondents to transfer the petitioner from Nagpur Central Jail to Paithan Open Prison. The further grievance of the petitioner is that although he is suffering from AIDS, he is not being given proper treatment by the respondents. The petitioner has also claimed compensation of Rs.2,00,000/- against the respondents for not providing him medical facilities. 2 In so far as transfer of the petitioner from Nagpur Central Jail to Paithan Open Prison is concerned, we are not inclined to grant such relief inasmuch as the petitioner is suffering from AIDS. In so far as the grievance made by the petitioner regarding lack of medical facilities is concerned, we direct the respondents to provide adequate medical treatment to the petitioner, since he is suffering from AIDS. In so far as claim of compensation is concerned, in our opinion, the same has no merit. Writ Petition stands disposed of with the aforesaid direction. JUDGE JUDGE ssw
