 "summary": "The Gauhati High Court (B.D. Agarwal, J.) set aside the Magistrate's acquittal and convicted Karimganj SP under Section 323 IPC for the custodial beating of detenue a Karimganj man @ a Karimganj man on 20-21 June 2000. The Court held the trial court had discarded one-sided prosecution evidence on flimsy grounds despite corroboration by the co-detenue eyewitness and three government doctors, and found the SP had conspired to have the victim arrested in a second non-bailable FIR after he joined a demand for the SP's transfer. Taking a lenient view on sentence after 12 years, the Court imposed Rs. 1,000 fine plus Rs. 1,00,000 compensation to the injured under Section 357 CrPC, with six months' simple imprisonment in default of deposit within two months. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.",
