 "summary": "The judgment of the Chhattisgarh High Court records the following account. A Minpa man (about 30), of Minpa village under PS Chintagupha, Sukma, was arrested on a wrong identity, sharing his name with a wanted accused, though not wanted in any criminal case, and spent 7 months 26 days in Dantewada jail. The Additional Sessions Judge, Dantewada released him on 3 March 2022, finding the detention illegal and directing SP action against the erring personnel. Before the High Court the State admitted the illegal detention. A Division Bench of Chief Justice Ramesh Sinha and Justice Rajani Dubey directed the State to pay Rs.1,00,000 compensation within two months, noting ASI had died during the departmental enquiry. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.",
