The judgment of the Bombay High Court records the following account. The petitioner, a civil engineer from Airoli (Navi Mumbai), was picked up by Ambad police on 12 April 2014 in a dowry complaint case but produced before the Magistrate only on 14 April 2014, and was also subjected to a forced medical examination. The Division Bench held his detention from 3 p.m. on 13 April to 11 a.m. on 14 April 2014 and the medical examination illegal, in violation of Articles 21 and 22(2) of the Constitution. The court held that compensation in public law for such violations is a strict liability, relying on D.K. Basu and Nilabati Behera. It allowed the writ with Rs 2,00,000 compensation plus Rs 20,000 costs on the State, directed a major-penalty inquiry against ASI with recovery of the payout, and left tort, section 357 CrPC and Arnesh Kumar contempt remedies open.
