Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of illegal detention under the Prevention of Corruption Act, specifically Sections 13(2) and 13(1)(e). The Court held that the allegations of unlawful detention and harassment by CBI officials were substantiated, leading to a finding of a prima facie case against the officers involved. The Court ordered a review of the NHRC's earlier decision, emphasizing the need for accountability in cases of alleged human rights violations by law enforcement agencies.
