K.Mohandas v. Circle Inspector of Police
Case brief
What is this about?
The High Court held that disputes regarding payments under an agreement for sale are essentially civil in nature. Consequently, the writ petition was directed to limit the petitioner's presence in the police station only if a cognizable offence is made out, requiring the police to follow due process otherwise.
What did the court decide?
The petitioner shall not be required to be present in the police station unless a cognizable offence is made out, in which case the police shall follow the due process of law.
