 "summary": "Varun Kumar alleged his brother [name withheld] was illegally detained at PS B-Division Urban, Amritsar; the warrant officer raid at 00:50 on 09.09.2019 found him in the lock-up, with the detenue claiming custody since 05.09.2019 against the police claim of arrest on 08.09.2019. The Commissioner of Police, Amritsar, on enquiry found illegal detention by SI (Addl. SHO); departmental action forfeited five years approved service with cumulative effect of both the SI and SHO Inspector (lack of supervision), and FIR No.240/2019 u/s 342 IPC was registered with a s.173 CrPC report filed. Relying on Union of India v. Luithukla, the court directed Rs.50,000 compensation to the detenue payable personally by respondent no.6 (SI), made no comment on his challenge to the enquiry, and disposed of the petition. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.",
