The writ of mandamus has been instituted to direct the respondents to grant 15 days emergency leave to the petitioner's husband Saranraj, S/o Purushothaman, convict prisoner. 2. The prisoner is in actual imprisonment for about five years. The reason stated in the leave application is that the father of the prisoner is undergoing treatment and the prisoner wants to meet his father. Since the prisoner is involved in some serious cases, this Court is inclined to grant six days emergency leave to the prisoner with escort. The learned counsel for petitioner would submit that the family of the prisoner is living in below poverty line. In that case, they are at liberty to submit necessary certificates to the prison authorities for consideration. Thus we are inclined to pass the following order:- (i) The prisoner, namely, Saranraj, S/o Purushothaman, CT No.23558 is ____________ https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P.No.501 of 2025 granted six days emergency leave with escort.
