 "summary": "The judgment of the Gauhati High Court records the following account. On 24 March 2009, civilian construction labourer and tutor a New Tairenpokpi man was picked up by plainclothes personnel of the combined Imphal West Police Commando and 16 Assam Rifles force while on his way to a Youth, and was shot dead the same evening at New Tairenpokpi; a false KYKL-encounter case was registered at Lamshang PS. The Addl. District Judge inquiry found no evidence he was a KYKL member and rejected the encounter version. The Court held the petitioner's case more trustworthy, found an established Article 21 violation, and awarded Rs 5,00,000 exemplary damages shared equally by the State and the Union/AR plus Rs 6,000 costs, preserving criminal remedies. Decided by the Gauhati High Court (Imphal Bench). Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.",
