 "summary": "The Jharkhand High Court allowed the father's writ after his son [name withheld] was killed on 7 December 2001 when a suspected parcel bomb exploded at Daltonganj. The court found the Daltonganj police patrolling party negligent: instead of summoning explosive experts, the Inspector had the civilian open the lunch-box device, killing him on the spot and injuring police personnel. It held this was not gross negligence but a carefree attitude, distinguishing the custodial-death award in Bahlen Balmuchu. The court ordered Rs 1 lakh compensation plus transposition of the deceased's STD booth licence to one brother and employment for the other. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.",
