The judgment of the Madhya Pradesh High Court records the following account. On 29 November 2009, Head Constable of PS Maihar (Satna) took a Maihar man @ a Maihar man from his home in village Dhanwahi for interrogation; he was never seen again. The court found the police fabricated a paper trail showing his arrest on 2 December 2009 and release on bail, with an impersonator produced before the SDM, a fact confirmed by a CID enquiry and a judicial enquiry by the CJM Satna. Treating the untraced disappearance as a custodial death under the Nilabati Behera principle, the Division Bench held the State, SP Satna, SHO and [name withheld] jointly and severally liable. It ordered Rs 5,80,000 compensation to the wife and two sons within two months with 6 percent default interest, disbursed under the District Judge Satna's supervision, noting a criminal case against [name withheld] was pending trial.
