initially pandit shukla was kept in jabalpur jail but was soon shifted to seoni jail. in seoni jail loknayak madhav shri ane and vaman rao joshi of vidarbh were also serving the internment along with him. pandit shukla was interned in seoni jail for several months. during this period he had to fight against atrocities of the jail life. one of the jail regulation was to take thumb impressions of each prisoner for his identification. shri vaman rao joshi was called by jail authorities and his thumb impression was taken. when he returned the jail-mates seeing black ink marks on his palm asked him,"what was the matter?".to this sh. joshi replied,"they have taken my finger prints and that during his internment in 1907 also he had given his finger prints for identification".three days later pandit shukla was called in to the jail superintendent's office for giving his finger prints. pandit shukla showed them the jail manual and made it clear to them that the superintendent of the jail isn't authorised to take the finger prints. when the news came to pandit shukla that the government was contemplating filing a case against him for violating the jail rules, he consulted law experts and asked authorities to permit him to have access to a list of more than 100 law books. when government saw that it is very difficult to deal with him, it dropped the idea of filing a case against him. he refused to talk to police officers on this matter. the seoni administration got in touch with jabalpur headquarter which in turn advised collector seoni to take action on his own. finally a magistrate was called but pandit shukla refused to appear before him without any notice being served on him. the jail warden gathered jail employees to use force on pandit shukla to get his thumb impression. pandit shukla warned them that he will not give his thumb impression willfully and if force is used the government will be entirely responsible. but the authorities were bent upon taking his thumb impression. all of them together forcibly tried to open his fist but the strong will and the bodily strength of pandit shukla prevailed and despite a 40-minute effort they were unsuccessful in opening his fist. the result of this incidence was such that on fourth day after this incidence the nagpur head office issued an order circulating it all over the state that unless ordered by the dig police no thumb impressions of any political prisoners will be taken. this was a rare incidence of courage where he fought for justice to save his self-esteem against the british administration.
