Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court dismissed the writ petition under Article 32, addressing the issue of racial discrimination in the Punjab Jail Manual, which allegedly violated Articles 14 and 15 of the Constitution. The Court acknowledged the Solicitor General's commitment to review the discriminatory rules, emphasizing that even if the petitioner was no longer incarcerated, the matter warranted constitutional scrutiny. Ultimately, the Court decided not to pursue the case further, as the petitioner expressed a lack of interest in continuing, leading to the dismissal of the petition.
