NDTV
Justice Prathiba M Singh said the report was "wanting of material particulars", "absolutely sketchy" and did not even state if there was any policy in place for providing compensation in cases of custodial deaths.
The Delhi High Court Wednesday termed as "sketchy" a status report filed by the Aam Aadmi Party government on the death of a man in judicial custody for alleged theft of a vehicle, saying it does not say what transpired between his arrest and his hospitalisation. Justice Prathiba M Singh said the report was "wanting of material particulars", "absolutely sketchy" and did not even state if there was any policy in place for providing compensation in cases of custodial deaths. The court said the report only states when he was arrested and when he was admitted in hospital, but nothing about what happened in between and nothing about any enquiry carried out in relation to his death. The court asked the Delhi government whether any policy was there for providing compensation in cases of custodial deaths and said it would take up the issue of compensation on the next date of hearing on April 13.
