A division bench headed by Justice R V More asked the jail authorities to reply to the plea and posted the matter for hearing tomorrow.
Chintan, in his petition, submitted that he is unable to sleep on the floor due to spondylitis. The prison authorities were not providing him medical help, he alleged.
He was arrested on December 28, last year in connection with the murder of his estranged wife Hema and her lawyer Bhambhani.
However, the main accused, Vidyadhar Rajhbhar, is still at large.
Hema, an installation artist, and Bhambhani were found dead in a drain in Dhanukar Wadi in suburban Kandivli on December 11, last year.
