The report shows how for number of years none examined the position of Machal Lalung. There are various gaps mentioned in the report. There is another case from the State of Uttar Pradesh [Writ Petition (Crl.) No.18 of 2006], which this Court is seized of.

The file of the said case has not been sent to this Court, presumably, for the reason that the report from the concerned mental hospital has not been received.
3. List both the petitions together on a non-miscellaneous day so that after hearing learned counsel, appropriate directions can be issued.
4. The petition is adjourned for six weeks.
