Justice V.R. KRISHNA IYER; In the eye of law, prisoners are persons not animals, and to punish the deviant ’guardians’ of the prison system where they go berserk and defile the dignity of the human inmate. Prison houses are part of Indian earth and the Indian Constitution cannot be held at bay by jail officials ’dressed in little, brief authority’. When Part III is invoked by a convict, When a prisoner is traumatized, the Constitution suffers a shock. The courts in America have, through the decisional process, brought the rule of law into the prison system pushing back, pro tanto, the ’hands-off’ doctrine. The content of our constitutional liberties being no less, the dynamics of habeas writs there developed help the judicial process here. The full potential of Articles 21, 19 & 14 after Maneka Gandhi has been unfolded by this Court in Hoskot and Batra. Today, human rights jurisprudence in India has a constitutional status and sweep.
