 "summary": "The Punjab and Haryana High Court held that the custodial death of petitioner [name withheld]'s husband was prima facie caused by excess police action, rejecting a Special Investigation Team report that blamed a train fall and chronic drunkenness. The Court noted the Magistrate had recorded no injuries at remand, yet the post-mortem showed a fatal head injury with multiple bruises, and the sub-jail had refused to admit the man. It directed the District Judge, Hisar to hold an enquiry and report within four months, and ordered the State to pay Rs.2 lakh interim compensation within four weeks. No individual officer was named in the order. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.",
