DATE: December 8, 2006. P.C. P.C. P.C. 1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. This is a petition claiming compensation from the respondent - State for his detention. It is an admitted fact that the police has registered several crimes as against the petitioner. However, in those crimes, the petitioner was either discharged or acquitted. It further appears that the Human Rights Commission, after having considered the case of the petitioner, has directed to hold the departmental :2: :2: :2: enquiry as against the concerned police officer. However, whether the actions taken by the police officers were reasonable in the facts and circumstances of the case is a question to be decided before the compensation is to be granted. We find that the appropriate remedy available for such a relief is by way of a civil suit for malicious prosecution. We find that thorough alternate remedy is available to the petitioner. We do not desire to interfere in the matter. Petition is hereby rejected. (S.R.SATHE,J.) (S.B.MHASE, J.) (S.R.SATHE,J.) (S.B.MHASE, J.) (S.R.SATHE,J.) (S.B.MHASE, J.) :sachin/2006/sathe/..
