What's behind this
The Allahabad High Court, hearing a habeas‑corpus petition before Justices Atul Sreedharan and Achal Sachdev, sharply criticised the Uttar Pradesh police for a ‘shameful’ civil‑liberties situation and a routine disregard for citizens’ fundamental rights. The court described recent unlawful detention as part of a pattern of rights infringement, ordered the petitioner’s release and directed the state to pay ₹20,000, and highlighted the police’s repeated excuse of missing or malfunctioning CCTV footage when courts demand it.
