Case History
The Supreme Court allowed the State of Maharashtra's appeal challenging the High Court's order in a custodial death case. Jitendra Tiwari died in JJ Hospital on 25.12.1997 while in judicial custody; the postmortem confirmed natural death from pyogenic meningitis, not custodial death as alleged by the respondent (his mother, Vimladevi Tiwari). The Court set aside the High Court and District & Sessions Judge orders, expunged their strictures against police, and noted compensation of Rs.10,000 and Rs.1,00,000 with 12% interest had already been paid. The respondent failed to appear despite notice, making the matter academic. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
