Life convict's wife sought periodic medical monitoring of her husband after liver transplantation. The court noted its earlier final order in the petitioner's subsequent writ petition (W.P.No.31711 of 2024) directing treatment per CMC Vellore advice and closed this writ petition as no further consideration was required.

[Order of the Court is made by S.M.SUBRAMANIAM, J. ]
We have elaborately considered the issues in the subsequent writ petition filed by the very same petitioner in W.P.No.31711 of 2024. A Final order was passed on 29.10.2024, which states as follows:
“ 10. In view of the said submission, we are
inclined to direct the respondents to take the prisoner to CMC, Vellore for medical examination and thereafter provide medical treatment as per the medical advice, if any, by the CMC, Vellore. For taking the prisoner to CMC, Vellore and for providing treatment in CMC, Vellore, the petitioner has to meet out the expenses, since

CMC, Vellore collects charges for providing such medical treatment. The CMC, Vellore being a speciality hospital, we hope that adequate treatment will be provided to the prisoner.
11. With the above observation, the writ petition stands dismissed. Consequently, W.M.P.No.34450 of 2024 is also dismissed. No costs.”
