The prison department was earlier rapped by the Supreme Court for giving preferential treatment to film Actor Darshan while he was lodged in the prison.
The officials later made a submission to the court that the no preferential or special treatment to anyone and rules as per the prison manual is applicable to everyone, when Darshan demanded extra bed,pillow and a blanket along with provision to allow him to walk outside the cell .
However the court consider the submission of the prison department,this incident might help Darshan to challenge the order.
