Supreme Court upholds decision to cap number of visits by prisoners' relatives, counsel

The Hindu  

The Supreme Court on January 9 upheld an order of the Delhi High Court which had said the decision to cap the number of visits by prisoners' families, friends and legal advisors to twice a week has been taken considering the number of inmates, and it cannot be said to be "completely arbitrary". The high court, in its order dated February 16 last year, had said the decision has been taken after careful consideration of the facilities available in prisons, availability of staff and the number of undertrials. "Depending upon the number of undertrials and prisoners, the State has taken a decision of capping total number of visits by family members, relatives, friends and legal advisors to two times a week and it cannot be said that the said decision is completely arbitrary. The said decision has been taken after careful consideration of the facilities available in prisons, availability of staff and the number of undertrials," the high court had said.
