The Court after perusing the information submitted had given certain direction:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><em>The Jail Department and the Principal Secretary, Home \/ Prison, respondent no. 1, are directed to ensure that the number of the prisoners being inoculated is drastically increased. In fact, since most of the prisoners would be above the age of eighteen years, the inoculation of prisoners must be ensured by the State Government as expeditiously as possible, and preferably within one month from the date of this order. <\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>When a prisoner is being released, he must be subjected to Rapid Antigen Test \/RT-PCR test in order to ensure that he does not leave the jail premises as a Covid-19 positive case. For, there are great chances that such a prisoner, who is being released, may carry the virus with him, and may infect his family, in particular, and the society, in general. <\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The High Powered Committee is directed to convene its meeting within a period of two weeks, and to review the cases of under-trial prisoners and the case of those, who have been convicted for offences punishable for less than seven years. It shall make its recommendations within two weeks from its meeting, since there is a possibility that this pandemic may continue for many months to come and since there are reports which show that India may face the third wave of Covid-19, which may continue even in the next year. The High Powered Committee is directed to meet once every month, and to review the cases of the present inmates, and to make its necessary recommendations. <\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The learned I.G. Prison is directed to inform the Chairman, Bar Council of Uttarakhand about the existence of the \u201cE-Mulakaat\u201d portal. Furthermore, he is directed to ensure that sufficient hardware and software is available in the jails so as to permit the prisoners to converse with their counsel through the \u201cEMulakaat\u201d portal. <\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The learned counsel for the State is directed to file a detailed report with regard to the implementation of the directions issued by this Court within a period of three weeks.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The case was next heard on 14-06-2021.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As per the directions issued by the Court on 06-05-2021 a short counter-affidavit had been filed by I.G. Prisons, Uttarakhand according to which 2813 inmates have been vaccinated so far. It was informed that the remaining inmates shall be vaccinated in a systematic manner, and at a rapid speed. However, as the vaccines were not presently available, inoculation programme is progressing slowly. The Committee considered parole of 106 convicts, and interim bail application for 685 under-trial prisoners. Out of 106 convicts, 92 were granted parole by the Committee. With regard to the E-Mulakaat, the I.G. submitted that all the jail Superintendents have been directed to convene the Video Conferencing through E-Mulakat, or through any other portal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court while disposing of the petition held that the directions issued by this Court had been duly complied with.
