 "summary": "The Patna High Court held that milk-van driver [name withheld] and his vehicle were illegally detained by Saran district police from April 29 to May 15, 2020 without registration of an FIR, which was lodged only after a habeas corpus petition was filed. The Court rejected the police's concocted explanation regarding an untraceable injured pedestrian as an afterthought to justify prolonged unauthorized detention. Finding a grave violation of Article 21 and statutory detention safeguards, the Court awarded Rs. 5,00,000 in compensation to the driver payable by the State of Bihar and directed the Director General of Police to initiate criminal proceedings and conclude disciplinary actions against the erring police officers. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.",
