Ram Mehar Singh vs State Of Nct Of Delhi & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash proceedings under Sections 107 and 151 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, ruling that the police had misused their powers, violating the fundamental rights of the writ petitioner. The Court affirmed the award of token compensation of Rs. 50,000 and directed the CBI to investigate the police officials involved. The Court emphasized that the provisions of Section 145 Cr.P.C. should have been invoked instead, and the appellant, being unrepresented, could not be held accountable for the orders made against him.
