Case Note & Summary
The petitioner, wife of a life convict, filed a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India seeking a mandamus to extend ordinary leave or grant emergency leave to her husband. Earlier, the Court had allowed 21 days ordinary leave in W.P(MD)No.3095 of 2025 by order dated 31.01.2025. The leave was expiring on the day following the hearing, i.e., 26.02.2025. The petitioner pleaded that she had undergone surgery and was in convalescence, requiring her husband’s presence. The convict had already availed the full leave. The State contended that no extension should be granted without a separate request and sufficient reasons. The Court heard both sides, but the final order is not recorded in the provided text.
Issue of Consideration
Whether the petitioner is entitled to an extension of ordinary leave or emergency leave for her husband (a life convict) on medical grounds, after having been granted 21 days ordinary leave which is about to expire.
