Nitin Verma had filed a petition in the Delhi High Court stating that the daily wages are being given to the prisoners inside the jail at the rate of 2014 while the new daily wage rate has been implemented from June 2019. After hearing this petition, the court directed the Delhi government to revise the daily wages for the inmates of the jail and also to file a status report before the next hearing.
