Hansa Singh & Ors. v. State of Punjab & Ors.
Case brief
What is this about?
This judgment disposed of a petition seeking directions for the protection of the petitioner's life and liberty. The Court held that specific directions were unnecessary as preventive action had already been taken, but clarified that prosecution remains an option if parties attempt to execute the law on their own.
What did the court decide?
No specific direction for protection of life and liberty required; State authorities open to launch prosecution if law is taken in hand.
