 "summary": "The Jammu and Kashmir High Court disposed of a 1995 habeas corpus petition concerning a Srinagar man, picked up by the 41st Bn BSF on 09.07.1995 during a Maharaja Gunj crackdown and booked at Police Station CIK, thereafter untraceable. Adopting the Additional District and Sessions Judge (Srinagar) enquiry, the court disbelieved both the BSF escape story and the State's denial of custody. It held the subject disappeared while in the physical custody of respondent No. 3 (SP, CID-CIK), termed him the main and chief culprit, and awarded Rs 1.5 lakh compensation with liberty to recover from the responsible officers. It also ordered registration of a criminal case and time-bound investigation. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.",
