Considering the fact that a large number of prisoners in the State have not preferred an appeal against their conviction, the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Friday directed the Principal District Judges and the Chief Judicial Magistrates to provide suitable advice to the prisoners regarding their right to file an appeal against their conviction.
A Division Bench of Justices V. Bharathidasan and S. Ananthi directed the PDJs and the CJMs to visit the prisons in the districts concerned once in a month, interact with the prisoners and give suitable advice to them. The court was earlier informed that 553 of the 3,538 prisoners currently lodged in central prisons, open-air prisons and special prisons for women had not preferred an appeal.
