The Andhra Pradesh High Court (treating the petitioner's letter to the CJI as an Article 226 petition) held that a woman advocate picked up on 6 March 1995 was beaten, made to sign blank papers, and shuttled between police stations for over 26 hours without FIR, crime number or prompt production before a Magistrate. The Court found the arrest was procured by the then Public Prosecutor to pressure her to withdraw a habeas corpus petition and was executed by the Inspector of Nallakunta Police Station. It ordered the State to pay Rs 50,000 as exemplary public-law compensation (moderated as the petitioner was not free of wrongdoing) and called for Section 173(2) CrPC reports in the seven cases registered against her. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.
