All Prisoners Need To Be Given Nutritious Food, Cannot Make Distinction Between Actor Darshan And Other Undetrials: Karnataka High Court

The Karnataka High Court has mandated that an undertrial prisoner, Darshan, be provided nutritious food while in custody. This decision arose from the prisoner's complaint about inadequate and poor-quality food affecting his health. The Court emphasized that Darshan, as an undertrial, should not be discriminated against and must receive the same quality of food as other inmates. It noted that while Darshan may be awaiting trial, his fundamental rights, including adequate nutrition, must be upheld. The ruling underscores the importance of treating all prisoners fairly and ensuring their well-being while in custody.
