CASE SUMMARY: State of Haryana v. Rajwant Kaur (Crl.A. 1115/2000) The Supreme Court dismissed the State of Haryana's appeal and partly allowed Rajwant Kaur's appeal in a custodial death compensation case. Jassa Singh died in police custody on July 28, 1996, after consuming aluminium phosphide (celphos); forensic findings confirmed this as the cause of death. The High Court awarded Rs. 1,50,000 compensation, finding police negligence for failing to properly search the deceased before arrest. The Supreme Court upheld this finding but increased compensation to Rs. 2,00,000, directing the State to pay an additional Rs. 50,000 within two months, with the deposited amount released immediately with accrued interest.
