 "summary": "The Bombay High Court (Nagpur Bench) held that a Nagpur man, acquitted in his last sessions case on 29 March 2011, was detained in Nagpur Central Prison from the evening of 30 March to the morning of 3 April 2011 without any authority of law. The Court recorded the SP Gadchiroli's admission that Police Constable, tasked with carrying the jail warrant to court and back, was grossly negligent in failing to return the endorsed warrant, and rejected the two-day-travel excuse for the 160 km journey. It ordered the State to pay Rs 20,000 compensation at Rs 5,000 per day and noted a departmental enquiry against the constable would follow. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.",
