The petitioner was thereby found not guilty and thus discharged by the Court.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The petitioner was stated to be a bright student who cleared Staff Selection Commission (&#8216;SSC&#8217;) examination and was supposed to appear for the interview, falsely implicated in the instant case which ruined his entire career by the hands of Police. On the other hand, it was stated that the Director General of Police scrutinized the case, and all three police officers were suspended, and departmental proceedings were initiated.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court examined whether case was made out for compensation in favour of the petitioner under Article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001574969\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">226<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726967\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Constitution<\/a>. The Court observed that &#8220;it is crystal clear that for a crime, which has not been committed by the petitioner, who was a student, he has been made accused and was also languishing in jail for 4 months.&#8221; It further pointed at the accepted case of illegal detention as made out by the police itself since the entire prosecution against the petitioner was malicious which caused harassment and immeasurable anguish.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court observed that &#8220;The liberty and dignity of the petitioner, which are basic to his human rights were jeopardized, as he was taken into custody and, eventually, despite all the glory of the past, he was compelled to face cynical abhorrence and this situation invites the public law remedy for grant of compensation for violation of the fundamental right, envisaged under Article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001574949\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">21<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726967\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Constitution of India<\/a> for saving the life command, self-respect and dignity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Regarding torture, physical pain, mental torment and individual&#8217;s dignity, the Court relied on <i>D.K. Basu<\/i> v. <i>State of W.B.<\/i>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/oI7aiMHx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(1997) 1 SCC 416<\/a>; <i>Joginder Kumar<\/i> v. <i>State of U.P.<\/i>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/9fCs37H9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(1994) 4 SCC 260<\/a>; <i>Vishwanath Agrawal<\/i> v. <i>Sarla Vishwanath Agrawal<\/i>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/6yW8E19Y\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(2012) 7 SCC 288<\/a> and <i>Delhi Judicial Service Assn.<\/i> v. <i>State of Gujarat<\/i>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/b7HGd20W\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(1991) 4 SCC 406.<\/a> The Court commented that the State Police&#8217;s lackadaisical attitude to arrest anyone and put him in custody made the petitioner suffer humiliation, who was having a bright career and completed SSC exam. It further said that the petitioner was kept in illegal custody for a crime which was not committed by him, who was a student at that time and illegal detention was also proved.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court found the instant petition maintainable under Article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001574969\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">226<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726967\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Constitution<\/a> and observed that &#8220;Police is the main stay of the Administration of the State. It has a duty to ensure that outlaws are firmly dealt with in accordance with law. But it must confirm to the rules of law and the mandate of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726967\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Constitution of India<\/a> in its functions and if it would go beyond the law to do anything in the name of Administration, it would shake the very foundation of a Constitutional democracy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court found the instant case duly made out for grant of compensation to the petitioner and directed the State to pay a sum of Rs 5 lakhs in favour of the petitioner for illegally detaining him in custody. The Court also left it open for the State to recover the said amount from the salary of erring police officers. The Court noted that the trauma and humiliation already faced could not be reversed, but the said compensation will console the petitioner to forget the past and take life onwards.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Ajit Kumar v.
