HC directs SI to pay compensation

The government advocate filed an affidavit stating that the sub-inspector had not detained them and the two were called to the police station on May 13, regarding a civil dispute.
However, Kemperaiah who was present at court, disputed the submission stating that he was in police custody for a day and though not ill treated, had to live on biscuits and nothing else.
The Bench constituting Justices N K Patil and V Jagannathan took exception for filing a false affidavit and reminded that the salaries of government officials come from  tax payers’ money.  The police personnel have been directed to pay a compensation of Rs 5,000 each within ten days.
