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 inquiry and compensation for illegal detention could not be directly entertained. However, the Court acknowledged the serious allegations of illegal acts by police officials, referencing the guidelines established in D.K. Basu Vs. State of W.B. (AIR 1997 SC 3017) regarding custodial violence. The Court directed that an FIR be lodged against the involved police officials and emphasized the need for accountability in cases of police misconduct.
