Masooda Parveen vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court ruled that the custodial death of Ghulam Mohi-ud-din Regoo, allegedly caused by the Army, necessitated compensation and employment for his family under Article 21 of the Constitution of India, which guarantees the right to life and personal liberty. The Court emphasized the need for accountability in cases of custodial violence and recognized the plight of the deceased's indigent family. The petition for compensation and job provision was upheld, directing the Union of India to provide relief to the petitioners.
