HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE PURUSHAINDRA KUMARKAURAV O R D E R %

1. It is pointed out that the punishment awarded to other inmates who are similarly situated has been interfered with by this Court vide order dated 07.11.2025 in W.P. (CRL) 3620/2024. Even otherwise, on perusal of the punishment ticket it would prima facie appear that the same seems to be disproportionate to the alleged misconduct.
2. Bearing in mind the order already passed by this Court on 07.11.2025 and the punishment being disproportionate, the same stands set aside.
3. Liberty is granted to the respondent to pass a fresh order in accordance with law after affording opportunity of hearing to the petitioner.
4. Accordingly, the writ petition stands disposed of.
