Shortly after this incident, the same police officer registered an FIR against the petitioner under the Prohibition Act after which, the petitioner claimed he was detained, mercilessly beaten, and consequently suffered a paralysis attack.
Thus, the High Court was approached.
Initially, notice was issued and an explanation was sought from the respondent.
However, another FIR came to be registered against the petitioner and his wife, both practicing advocates, by the very same officer arising from an alleged brawl relating to a civil dispute.
The petitioner claimed that he was illegally detained for 21 hours in relation to this complaint.
