Kaka @ Tilak Raj(Minor) Tr.Father & Anr vs State Of H.P. & Ors

The Supreme Court, while addressing a petition under Article 32, held that the prayers for an independent enquiry and compensation for illegal detention could not be directly raised in a writ petition. The Court emphasized the need for adherence to the guidelines established in D.K. Basu Vs. State of W.B. (AIR 1997 SC 3017) regarding custodial violence and illegal detention. The Court declined to quash the ongoing criminal proceedings against the petitioner, affirming that the allegations of extortion and illegal acts by police officials required proper investigation rather than immediate intervention.
