In this instance, Bhim Singh was a member of the J&k State Legislative Assembly who was detained by state police while on his way to a legislative assembly vote and detained indefinitely without charge. His wife filed a Habeas Corpus petition to gain his malafide release.  The apex Court determined MLA Bhim Singh’s democratic right & awarded him Rs. 50,000 in compensatory losses. In addition, the appropriate police official was penalized for neglect of duty and misconduct.
