Today, On 27th June, The Uttar Pradesh government paid man Rs.5 lakh as compensation for illegal detention following the Supreme Court criticism to the State for keeping the man in jail for nearly a month even after he was granted bail.
The Supreme Court of India criticized the Ghaziabad jail authorities for failing to release a man granted bail in April under the Uttar Pradesh anti-conversion law, deeming it a “travesty of justice.” The court demanded an explanation from the jailor regarding the delay, attributing it to a minor legal technicality that undermines personal liberty.
