    Delhi HC lists matter for 11 November

    The HC bench comprising Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice C Harishankar questioned: "Why are you denying this (special benefits) to women prisoners? This is very bad. What you are doing is a stereotypical approach. People should have option, why should you discriminate?"

    Special jails allow convicts lead normal lives outside prison

    Sunil Gupta also sought quashing of the guidelines approved by Delhi L-G and other steps taken to exclude women from open/semi-open prisons. Such jails allow prisoners to work outside the prison premises to earn a livelihood and return in the evening. Prison authorities across India are adopting the concept that was introduced to assimilate convicts with society and also reduce their psychological pressure.
