CW-1996-0013Faridabad, HaryanaJudgment 17 January 1996
Government Railway Police Superintendent of Police and Another vs State of Haryana and Others
The Supreme Court convicted three Haryana Government Railway Police officers for fabricating evidence in a habeas corpus case. The Court found that a CIA-GRP team hunting fraud accused [name withheld] had seized his minor son, a minor boy, and another boy a minor boy at Agra and kept them in wrongful confinement from mid-October 1993 till 31 October 1993. The Court held the counter-affidavits denying custody, proved false by DGP, District Judge and CBI inquiries, made out offences under Section 193 IPC and, for SP, criminal contempt. It sentenced [name withheld] to one year's RI plus six months for contempt (concurrent), the SI to six months and the ASI to three months, and directed the DGP to take them into custody. Later proceedings: on 27 October 1999, the Supreme Court of India set aside the conviction/order concerning [name withheld]; on 6 January 2000, the Supreme Court of India set aside the conviction/order concerning [name withheld]; the findings against the remaining officers stand as recorded in this judgment. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.
