The judgment of the Madhya Pradesh High Court records the following account. Two Tamil Nadu truck drivers carrying a Kerala State Beverages Corporation liquor consignment were apprehended at PS Nagalwadi (Barwani) on 2-11-2019 and jailed until July 2021 on cheating, forgery and excise charges over a shortfall of 59 boxes out of 1600. The court found on the face of the charge-sheet that the documents were valid and the investigation was carried out with mala fide intent to falsely implicate the petitioners. It held the conduct amounted to misfeasance violating Article 21, quashed the charge-sheet and all proceedings in ST No. 25/2020, and directed the State to pay Rs 20 lakh compensation to each petitioner within two months, with liberty to recover from the erring officers after due process.
