1. The bailiff has produced the alleged detenu in Court and has submitted his report. The detenu was found in the police station and when he reached the police station the Moharrar ASI tried to push him out. When questioned Zafar lqbal SHO has stated that on the receipt of the application moved by Mohammad Ashraf to DSP Daska, which has been marked to the police station, he had called the detenu. He was asked to read the application which purely relates to a civil matter between Mohammad Ashraf and the alleged detenu regarding an amount of Rs.32,000. No cognizable offence has been committed even according to the application and so the police could not enter upon the investigation nor there was any order from any Magistrate or Court of Law to inquire into the matter and submit a report. Thus the action initiated by the police is totally illegal and unwarranted. By this illegal act the S.H.O. Has caused loss to a free citizen of the State and driven him to incur expenses to come to Court and to seek his release. In the circumstances, a compensation of Rs. 500 is ordered to be paid to the detenu/petitioner which amount the S.H.O.
2. Has paid in Court. The detenu is set free Disposed of.
