    Exemption is granted, subject to just exceptions and subject to

    The petitioner, who is accused in several criminal cases and is
    presently in custody at Central Jail, Mandoli, New Delhi, seeks a
    direction that respondent No. 1/State and respondent No. 2/Director

    W.P.(CRL.) No.1028/2020 Page 1 of 3


    General (Prisons) be directed to furnish to the petitioner details of the
    ‘live’ or ‘unexpired’ production warrants/custody warrants pending
    against the petitioner, based on which the petitioner is being detained
    in judicial custody.
    2. Mr. Vijay Aggarwal, learned counsel appearing for the
    petitioner submits that of the 48 cases that are pending against the
    petitioner, of which he is aware, only 07 cases relate to cognizable
    and non-bailable offences inter alia under provisions of the Indian
    Penal Code 1860 and the Prevention of Corruption Act 1988. Mr.
    Aggarwal submits that the other cases are under section 138 of the
    Negotiable Instruments Act 1881, which are non-cognizable and
    bailable. However, it appears that on the strength of production
    warrants/custody warrants issued by various courts, within and
    outside Delhi, the petitioner is being detained in judicial custody by
    the jail authorities.
    3. Issue notice.
    4. Mr. Rahul Mehra, learned Senior Standing Counsel (Criminal)
    appears on behalf of respondents Nos. 1 and 2 on advance copy; and
    accepts notice.
    5. Mr. Mehra has forwarded by e-mail a communication dated
    07.07.2020 from the Jail Superintendent, which is an intimation
    regarding the cases pending against the petitioner, enclosed with
    which is a list of 39 cases pending in Delhi and 09 cases pending
    outside Delhi, in connection with which the petitioner is being held in
    jail.

    W.P.(CRL.) No.1028/2020 Page 2 of 3


    6. Communication dated 07.07.2020 has also been forwarded to
    Mr. Aggarwal. Upon perusal, Mr. Aggarwal submits that the
    information the petitioner seeks is the status of the production
    warrants/custody warrants which are pending, whether in cognizable
    or non-cognizable cases, not of the cases which are pending. The
    petitioner wants to know whether such productions warrants/custody
    warrants are ‘live’ or have they ‘expired’. He submits that such
    information should be readily available with the jail authorities since
    physical copies of production warrants/custody warrants would be in
    their possession.
    7. Mr. Mehra wishes to file a status report in this regard.
    8. Let status report be filed before the next date, with advance
    copy to the opposing counsel.
    9. List on 29.07.2020.

    ANUP JAIRAM BHAMBHANI, J.
