The Supreme Court on January 9 upheld an order of the Delhi High Court which had said the decision to cap the number of visits by prisoners' families, friends and legal advisors to twice a week has been taken considering the number of inmates, and it cannot be said to be "completely arbitrary".
A Bench of Justices Bela M. Trivedi and Pankaj Mithal said it was not inclined to interfere with the high court order as it a policy decision.
