 "summary": "The High Court found that the petitioners son, 22-year-old a Madanapalle man, died on account of beating and torture by police personnel of I Town Police Station, Madanapalle while in custody between 23-8-1991 and 24-8-1991. The Court rejected the police defense that the victim was beaten by a mob for saree theft and died spontaneously of a ruptured berry aneurysm, noting eleven external injuries, failure to provide medical care, and fabricated entries in police registers. Holding the State liable for the tortious acts of its police personnel under Article 21 and Article 226, the Court awarded Rs 1,00,000 compensation and Rs 10,000 costs to the parents with liberty to the State to recover the amount from guilty personnel after a departmental enquiry. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.",
