Hyderabad: The Division Bench headed by Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Abhinand Kumar Shavili on Wednesday directed the State government to issue notification for filling up of various posts in State prisons within a period of 2 months and ensure that the process of recruitment concludes at the earliest.
The Division Bench was adjudicating the plea seeking implementation of the Supreme Court directions. The SC, in its orders dated May 8, 2018 had directed the Telangana and AP governments to ensure that there was no overcrowding of prisoners in prisons as overcrowding was well beyond 100 per cent and 150 per cent in prisons and this was a violation of human rights. Further, the Supreme Court had directed the States to ensure that adequate staff in prisons was recruited to maintain good administration.
The State government has filed a detailed reply affidavit before the court stating that the prisoners' population in prisons in TS was 5,825 as against the capacity of 7,270 as on February 2018. The Chief Justice Bench disposed the plea.
