The judgment of the Chhattisgarh High Court records the following account. Justice R.S. Garg quashed the prosecution of a Bilaspur man (Crime No. 12/2000, PS Torwa) launched on an anonymous inland letter alleging rickshaw-pullers possessed Rs 5 lakh of found money. Head Constable raided on 22 June 2000, seized Rs 8,000, extracted a custodial admission that it was bad money, locked up the accused and filed a challan under Section 41(1)(d) CrPC/379 IPC though no complaint of lost or stolen property existed. Holding the arrest false, mischievous and illegal and the challan cooked-up, the Court ordered the constable to personally pay Rs 10,000 compensation, return the seized money, and directed the CJM to lodge a criminal complaint against him. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.
