The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner's husband viz., Jaishankar was convicted by the learned Sessions Judge, Special Court, Chennai, for the offence under Sections 120(b) and 417 of IPC sentence to ten years rigorous imprisonment. Since the petitioner is the permanent resident of Duraimangalam, Perambalur District, she finds difficult to see her husband by travelling 300 kilometers from Perambalur to Chennai Puzhal Jail and therefore, she has submitted a representation to the first and second respondent, https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/
