The judgment of the Madras High Court records the following account. Bar leaders filed this habeas corpus petition for Advocate a Mettur man of Mettur, detained after an 11.06.2007 road-roko and brutally beaten in custody with lathis and boots, as recorded in the Legal Services Authority report dated 03.07.2007. The Division Bench rejected the police claim of a mild lathi-charge, holding the materials established custodial torture, and noted the foisted case against him (S.C. No.166/2010) had been quashed on 10.01.2011 as abuse of process. It directed the State to pay Rs.3,00,000 compensation within eight weeks, holding it the State's bounden duty to compensate custodial-torture victims adequately. It also directed the DGP to take appropriate action against the erring officials in a manner known to law. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.
