New Delhi, Nov 10 (TIWN) The Supreme Court on Wednesday expressed its dissatisfaction over the delay by Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) in taking action on recommendations submitted by Delhi Police Commissioner Rakesh Asthana in a report on prison reforms, after it was found some Tihar jail officials were extending undue assistance to ex-Unitech promoters Sanjay Chandra and Ajay Chandra.

A bench of Justices D.Y. Chandrachud and M.R. Shah told Additional Solicitor General K.M. Nataraj: "When will MHA take action. Need immediate reforms - jammers and body scanners - to ensure no unauthorised use of mobile phones takes place (on the Tihar jail premises)."

As he said that Tihar Jail does not fall under Delhi Police, the bench queried under whom the Tihar jail falls - the MHA or Delhi Police? A counsel in the matter informed the bench that Tihar jail is under Delhi government.  Justice Chandrachud told Nataraj that recommendations made by Delhi Police Commissioner are very important and the court wants the MHA to take steps to implement them.  At this juncture, Justice Shah, citing news reports, said murder has happened on Tihar jail premises.
