'Turning Blind Eye to These Injustices Would Diminish Very Essence of Democratic Society': Punjab and Haryana HC Grants INR 3 Lakh Compensation to Man Detained for Extra 9 Months Over Imposed Sentence

The Punjab and Haryana High Court recently awarded INR 3 lakh in compensation to a convict in a drugs case who was kept in custody beyond the sentence imposed. While granting the compensation to the convict, the Punjab and Haryana High Court said that "such violations are not mere administrative lapses; they are acts of constitutional disregard that demand accountability, redressal, and systemic correction". "Turning a blind eye to these injustices would not only embolden further violations but also diminish the very essence of a democratic society governed by the rule of law," the court added. The Punjab and Haryana High Court's decision came after it found that the man had spent 2 years, 3 months and 29 days in custody, while he was only sentenced to 1 year and 6 months of imprisonment.
