 "summary": "The Madras High Court (N.K. Jain, J.) allowed a mother's habeas corpus petition for her two sons, a Tiruttani man and a Tiruttani man, arrested on 24 May 1998 in a Pallipet murder case (Cr. No. 216/1998) after a half-burnt body was found. The court found that even after the supposed victim [name withheld] was found alive at Tirupati and stated under s.164 CrPC that the detenus were not responsible, police inaction kept the brothers in the Tiruvellore sub-jail. Holding their personal liberty was deprived by the carelessness, inaction and unfair investigation of the police, the court set the detenus at liberty and directed the State to pay Rs.50,000 to each of them directly within two months. The State was left free to take action against the officers concerned. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.",
