K.G. PREMSHANKER vs INSPECTOR OF POLICE

The appellant, a Superintendent of Police, challenged a High Court order refusing to quash criminal prosecution arising from allegations of custodial torture. The case stems from the arrest of a publisher who reported the rape of a tribal girl, leading to claims that the accused was assaulted by police during transit to the station. The Supreme Court examined the merits of the quashing petitions in the context of the alleged police brutality.
