The Supreme Court said that it is unfortunate that the
prisons are overcrowded, and they also have human rights and they cannot be
kept in jails like animals. The Court also said that it is clearly suggests the
complete lack of commitment of the State Governments and the Union Territories
to the human rights of prisoners and also indicates the failure of the Under
Trial Review Committees to take their responsibilities seriously, and directed
the states and Union Territories to give their comments in two weeks on
Standard Operating Procedures for the UTRCs, prepared in consultation with
National Legal Service Authority (NALSA), so that they can work effectively and
efficiently.
