 "summary": "The judgment of the Madras High Court records the following account. G. Barathi petitioned for her son [name withheld], seized from home at 2.30 a.m. on 16.06.2012 by Sholavaram/Minjur police, beaten with lathis and boots, and held in illegal custody with a false case fabricated against him. On the court's direction the Principal District Judge, Thiruvallur held a judicial enquiry (statements 28.01.2013, station inspection 19.02.2013, report 22.04.2013), and the Duty Assistant Surgeon's report showed treatment in custody from 06-22.07.2012. The court held assault and ill-treatment in police custody established and awarded Rs.50,000 compensation payable by the State within four weeks. It further directed a departmental enquiry to fix liability on those in charge at arrest and interrogation, with proportional recovery from the erring officials. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.",
