The Bombay High Court's Nagpur bench held that Talegaon police violated the fundamental rights of a lawyer and an ex-serviceman detained under preventive action after a midnight cross-complaint on 26 August 2010. The Court found they were stripped to undergarments, kept handcuffed in public view and transported by State Transport bus, rejecting the justification of a public gathering outside the station since neither petitioner was a habitual or hardened criminal. It awarded Rs 50,000 to each petitioner payable by the State. The prayer for fresh departmental action was rejected as the officers had already been punished departmentally.
