CW-2023-0041Gwalior, Madhya PradeshJudgment 28 April 2023

Gwalior Man vs State of Madhya Pradesh

The judgment of the Madhya Pradesh High Court records the following account. On 6 September 2022, SI of PS Morar claimed to seize 100 gm of MDMA each from a Gwalior man and others (720 gm total), and Tiwari remained in custody in Crime No. 760/2022 under the NDPS and Arms Acts. The CFSL Bhopal report dated 21 October 2022 found no MDMA in any exhibit, only urea, which the State conceded is not covered by the NDPS Act. The court held Tiwari's Article 21 right to personal liberty was violated by the wrongful act of the police agency during nearly eight months of confinement. Alongside bail on a Rs 500 personal bond, it directed the DGP to pay Rs 10 lakh compensation within two months, recoverable from the erring officials. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.
