One of the reason given for rejection of the prayer of the Petitioner was of acute paucity of water in the said jail. We are satisfied that the reasons assigned by the concerned jail authority are legally and factually sustainable. Hence no case is made out to entertain the Writ Petition. Hence the Writ Petition stands disposed of. In view of the disposal of the Writ Petition, nothing survives for further consideration in Criminal Application Nos.541 of 2018 and 507 of 2018, hence both the Criminal Application also stand disposed of.
