 "summary": "The Supreme Court held the police escort party unjustly and unreasonably handcuffed petitioners 1 and 2, social workers of the Kisan Adivasi Sangathan convicted to one month simple imprisonment for a peaceful dharna, during transit to court on 22 April 1989, rejecting the escort justification under MP Police Regulation 465. The Court directed the Madhya Pradesh Government to take appropriate action against the erring escort party and to enquire into the petitioners detention beyond their sentence. Allegations of torture and abuse were held not proved, and no compensation was awarded by the Court.",

 "court_quote": "It is most painful to note that the petitioners 1 and 2 who staged a 'dharna' for public cause and voluntarily submitted themselves for arrest and who had no tendency to escape had been subjected to humiliation by being handcuffed which act of the escort party is against all norms of decency and which is in utter violation of the principle underlying Article 21 of the Constitution of India. So we strongly condemn this kind of conduct of the escort party arbitrarily and unreasonably humiliating the citizens of the country with obvious motive of pleasing 'some-one'.",
