Why not policy for children living in condemned cell with mothers?

The High Court (HC) on Sunday issued a rule asking the bodies concerned of the government to explain as to why the respondents should not be directed to enact a rule or policy or regulation for the children living in a condemned cell with their mothers to ensure their proper physical and mental development.
The HC bench of Justice Naima Haider and Justice Kazi Zinat Hoque passed the order after hearing a writ petition.
Recently a report was published in a daily under the title "How is 10-month old Mahida in the condemned cell?" According to the report, a 10-month-old child Mahida is passing days in the death cell with her mother, after the mother received death sentence by a Women and Children Repression Prevention Tribunal in Habiganj in a case. Annexing the published report, Supreme Court (SC) lawyer Tanvir Ahmed on December 14 filed a writ petition with the HC seeking its directive upon the respondents to provide immediately adequate food, healthy environment and other fundamental necessary things to victim Mahida who is living in a condemned cell with her mother in Habiganj district jail.
