The detenu was admitted in the Coimbatore Government Hospital and was diagnosed as suffering from terminal illness and subsequently, he has been admitted in Kovai Medical Centre and Hospital, Coimbatore and has been diagnosed of carcinoma of prostate, stage IV. The medical condition of the detenu is not in dispute.

The detenue Mr.Balasubramani, S/o.Duraisamy, life convict No.11286 figured as Sl.No.11 in the order dated 08.06.2020 in Suo Motu Writ Petition No.7413 of 2020. In the said order, a direction was issued to the prisoners, who are on parole, to surrender before the Superintendent of Prison concerned on or before 15.06.2020. Considering the clinical condition of the detenu, we consider it appropriate to extend the leave to the detenue.

Accordingly, the above criminal miscellaneous petition is disposed of by extending the leave already granted to the petitioner’s brother Mr.Balasubramani, aged about 57 years S/O Duraisamy, convict prisoner No.11286 till 31.7.2020 by making it clear that he shall surrender before the concerned Prison Authorities on 31.7.2020 at 5 PM.
