Abhinandan Jha Vs. Dinesh Mishra, AIR 1968 SC 117 – SC F/R NO. 326/2008-1968

Sub Inspector Jayasekera and others, the Supreme Court addressed alleged violations of Fundamental Rights concerning claims of torture, assault, and improper detention by police officials during the petitioner’s arrest and custody. It was determined that the presented evidence, including contemporaneous police documentation, medical reports, and court records, did not substantiate the petitioner’s allegations of ill-treatment or forced confession. The principal holding confirmed that the arrest and subsequent detention complied with regulatory requirements under the Emergency (Miscellaneous Provisions and Powers) Regulations No. 1 of 2005, and the petitioner’s constitutional rights under Articles 11, 12(1), 13(1), and 13(2) were not violated. This ruling reaffirmed
