The 4-member committee consists of advocates Dr Amit George, Santosh Kumar Tripathi, Nandita Rao and Tushar Sannu.
“Recognizing the pressing nature of this issue, we deem it necessary to authorize an independent committee for a meticulous inspection of Tihar Jail. To this end, we establish a Fact-Finding Committee consisting of Dr. Amit George, Mr. Santosh Kumar Tripathi, Ms. Nandita Rao, and Mr. Tushar Sannu. Their mandate is to impartially evaluate the present conditions and update us on the status of drinking water, sanitation, overall hygiene, and the maintenance of washrooms/toilets within the complex,” the Court ordered.
A division bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Sanjeev Narula directed the Director General (Prison) of Tihar Jail to facilitate the committee’s work and provide all requisite resources and support to enable a thorough examination of the jail premises.
The Court asked the committee and the Delhi government to file their detailed status report in the matter and listed the case for further consideration on October 18.
