The Patna High Court held that the investigating officer of Chiksaura police station illegally rearrested a Bajitpur man after Section 41-A CrPC protection, without recalling the bail bond through a magisterial order and without filing the Section 41 checklist or recording arrest grounds. The court held this violated the petitioner's fundamental right under Article 21, while merely cautioning the magistrate who had passed the remand order in haste. It directed the State to pay Rs 2,00,000 compensation within 60 days, recoverable from the salary (or pension) of the erring officer.
