JUDGMENT
(ORAL)

1. In furtherance of last order of the predecessor bench, a detailed report has been received in closed envelope from the learned Inspecting Judge. In his elaborate report, the learned Inspecting Judge has detailed the conduct of the petitioner in jail. Notably, it is revealed from the report of the learned Inspecting Judge that the petitioner has already filed an application for jail transfer which is pending before the competent authority.

2. According to the learned ASC, the petitioner concealed in the petition about pendency of the application for jail transfer before the competent authority. But despite being asked repeatedly, learned counsel for petitioner is not answering clearly as to why this fact was not disclosed in the petition. W.P.(CRL)1464/2025 pages

3. Since the application of petitioner for transfer of jail is already pending before the competent authority, which fact has been concealed, I find no reason to allow this petition.

4. The petition is dismissed.
