 "summary": "The petitioner was detained under the Gujarat PASA Act by the District Magistrate, Amreli on 16-12-2007 on police-sponsored material and held for about 45 days. The High Court found the detention order illegal, passed on vague and arbitrary grounds with an ulterior motive to harass: the complainant denied the incident, signatory witnesses disowned complaints, and no statements were properly considered. Relying on Nilabati Behera and the Uphaar Tragedy case on compensation for Article 21 violations, the court awarded Rs.1,50,000 compensation payable by the State within eight weeks, recoverable in equal proportions from the erring officers' salaries. The petition was allowed to that extent and the Rule made absolute. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.",
