STATE OF PUNJAB vs PARAMJIT KAUR .

The Supreme Court held that the Punjab and Haryana High Court's order directing the State to pay Rs. 1,50,000 for the alleged custodial disappearance was inappropriate as it could influence ongoing criminal proceedings. The Court emphasized that observations regarding police remissness should not affect the trial's integrity. The appeal was disposed of, clarifying that the payment made by the State does not imply an admission of liability regarding the allegations.
