#compensation for fundamental rights violation

Rajasthan High Court ruled that continued detention of an HIV-positive individual for 53 days, despite a suspension order under the Rajasthan Land Revenue Act, violates Article 21. The Court held the Tehsildar personally liable for ₹2,00,000 compensation, reinforcing that illegal detention constitutes a constitutional tort with accountability for erring officials.

Allahabad HC ruled that confiscation of a vehicle under the U.P. Prevention of Cow Slaughter Act for intrastate transport without a permit is arbitrary and violates fundamental rights. The court set aside the confiscation order and directed ₹4 lakh compensation plus ₹2 lakh damages for unlawful auction and livelihood loss, reinforcing safeguards against arbitrary state action.
