The judgment of the Jharkhand High Court records the following account. The petitioner sought compensation for the custodial death of her 24-year-old son, a Ranchi man @ a Ranchi man, who died after being subjected to brutal physical assault by Jagannathpur police personnel on 27 July 1990. The trial court in Sessions Trial No. 551 of 1993 had previously convicted the accused police officers under Section 304/34 IPC and sentenced them to 10 years rigorous imprisonment. Relying on the coordinate bench decision in Bahlen Balmuchu, the Jharkhand High Court held that the custodial killing was a stark violation of Article 21 and directed the State of Jharkhand to pay Rs. 10,00,000 in compensation to the mother, granting liberty to recover the amount from the guilty police personnel.
