The Supreme Court held the arrest and detention of Dr. A Bhopal woman, an NRI doctor, and her septuagenarian advocate mother illegal and awarded Rs 5 lakh each as public-law compensation. On a Jabalpur complainant's civil dispute over an imaging-machine purchase given criminal colour in FIR 24/2012, Cyber Cell Bhopal arrested the women at their Pune residence on 27 November 2012 without following Sections 41/41-A CrPC or the D.K. Basu norms, transported them to Bhopal in an unreserved train compartment without producing them before the local Magistrate, and kept them in custody for weeks. The Court held their dignity seriously jeopardized, quashed the prosecution, and left the State at liberty to proceed against the erring officials.
