 "summary": "The Punjab and Haryana High Court (Justice Rakesh Kumar Jain) awarded Rs 5 lakh to chemist a Bhikhi man, who spent 5 months and 10 days in custody in a concocted NDPS case (FIR No. 60/2013, PS Bhikhi). The Court found the police propounded two parallel stories, shifting the recovery of intoxicant tablets from his shop to a road in village Matti to strengthen the case, a fabrication unearthed only because an SIT was constituted; the FIR was later cancelled. Holding this a sample of police highhandedness, the Court granted public-law compensation following Rini Johar, payable by Punjab within a month with liberty to recover from the erring officials, who had already been suspended and punished with forfeiture of two years' service. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.",
