The judgment of the Madras High Court records the following account. A Palayamkottai man of Eral complained to the NHRC that Palayamkottai Crime Station personnel foisted a false idol-theft case on him and pressured him to part with Rs.40,000. The NHRC found a prima facie human-rights violation and directed Rs.50,000 interim relief, which the State paid and ordered recovered equally from the seven policemen. Departmental charges were held proved against the personnel, who suffered postponement of increment for one year. The Court held policemen bound to honour NHRC interim compensation orders and dismissed all four writ petitions, sustaining the recovery of Rs.7,143 each.
