The Supreme Court, while adjudicating a petition under Article 32 of the Constitution, held that the police's actions during the protest on 19.06.2013 at Gokul Puri Police Station constituted a gross violation of the petitioners' fundamental rights under Article 21. The Court ordered an independent investigation into the police atrocities and directed the initiation of criminal prosecution and disciplinary proceedings against the involved police officers. Additionally, the Court awarded monetary compensation to the petitioners for their illegal arrest and torture.
