Summary: Civil Appeal No. 8542 of 2010 On October 1, 2010, the Supreme Court disposed of appeals by the State of Rajasthan challenging a High Court order directing implementation of the Rajasthan Prisoners Open Air Camps Rules, 1972. The Court directed the State to immediately implement the first and third directions (conducting a survey of eligible prisoners and holding Advisory Committee meetings twice yearly), while allowing the second direction (establishing camps at each district headquarters) to be implemented progressively and in phases subject to resource availability. The Court noted that ten camps were already functioning and directed the State to consider transferring the lead respondent to an existing camp before his sentence ended in March 2011.
