The State filed Model Prison Manual, 2016, and the Prison Rules of other States demonstrating that no other State allows prisoners visitation more than two times a week from relatives, friends, and legal advisors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court noted that judicial review is the cornerstone of constitutionalism and is a part of our basic structure. Despite this understanding, the Supreme Court has time and again reiterated how, by way of judicial review, policy decisions of the State should not be interfered with unless they are grossly arbitrary or irrational as there is a need to maintain separation of powers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court further noted that 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 advisers 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 the prisons, availability of the staff and the number of undertrials.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Thus, the Court dismissed the PIL, but, keeping in view the fact that the present PIL is not an adversarial litigation, and the petition was filed in the interest of the prisoners, the petitioner was permitted to give a representation to the State providing suggestions and expecting the State to consider in the right spirit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span
