The Delhi High Court has ordered two police officers to pay Rs 50,000 in compensation to a fruit seller who was illegally detained for 30 minutes without an FIR. The court criticized the police for their high-handed behavior and stated that they cannot act as if they are above the law. The judge emphasized that even a short detention cannot absolve the police officers of their actions and that compensation must be given to the petitioner. The court also noted that censure alone is not sufficient in this case.
