Role / Duties of Prison Authorities under Law

Role / Duties of Prison Authorities under Law

It is held in Muruganantham v. State of TN [2025] GCtR 1622 (SC) that all prison authorities shall promptly identify prisoners with disabilities at the time of admission. Each prisoner shall be given an opportunity to declare any disability and provide information about their specific needs. The State has a constitutional and moral obligation to uphold the rights of prisoners with disabilities. This includes not only ensuring non-discriminatory treatment but also enabling their effective rehabilitation and reintegration into society.
