Guntur Court Mandates Special Prison Arrangements for Former Minister Ambati Rambabu
A court in Guntur has issued a directive to prison authorities, ordering them to provide special facilities to former minister Ambati Rambabu, who is currently incarcerated at Rajahmundry central jail. The court's ruling mandates that these facilities be granted in strict accordance with jail rules applicable to special category prisoners, ensuring compliance with legal standards.
Petition Leads to Court Order for Enhanced Jail Conditions
The court's decision came after it heard a detailed petition filed by Ambati Rambabu himself, seeking specific amenities during his judicial remand. In his formal request, the YSRCP leader outlined several requirements aimed at improving his living conditions while in custody.
Key Facilities Requested by Ambati Rambabu:- Permission to receive food, clothing, and bedding from his home
- Provision of a pillow and mosquito net for comfort and health
- Installation of an air cooler to manage temperatures
- Access to necessary medicines and regular medical supervision
Special Room Allotment Based on Status and Health Concerns
In addition to the basic amenities, Ambati Rambabu specifically requested the allotment of a separate room within the jail. This appeal was grounded on two primary factors: his former status as a minister, which qualifies him for special category prisoner treatment under jail regulations, and significant health considerations that necessitate a more controlled environment.
The court's order emphasizes that all provided facilities must align with established jail protocols for special category inmates, ensuring no preferential treatment beyond what is legally permissible. This ruling highlights the balance between accommodating legitimate needs based on health and status while maintaining the integrity of the judicial process.
