Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the criminal proceedings against the respondents under Sections 107 and 151 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, ruling that the actions of the police were unjustified as the respondents were not causing a breach of peace. The Court emphasized that the respondents' detention was illegal and awarded them compensation for wrongful confinement. The Court directed the Central Bureau of Investigation to investigate the allegations made by the respondents against the police officers involved.
