'Overstepping jurisdiction': SC sets aside HC order on compensation for wrongful confinement

The Hindu  

Frowning upon courts overstepping jurisdiction, the Supreme Court has set aside an order of the Allahabad High Court which directed the Director of Narcotics Control Bureau to pay ₹5 lakh as compensation to a man for alleged wrongful confinement. The apex court was hearing an appeal filed by the Narcotics Control Bureau challenging an order of the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court. Despite the closure report and the respondent's release, the high court proceeded to adjudicate the pending bail application and observed that the respondent was a young person who had been wrongfully confined for four months despite the initial laboratory finding and, therefore, directed the Director, NCB to pay compensation. Commenting on the HC order, the apex court said, "Time and again, the act of courts overstepping the bounds of jurisdiction, has clearly been frowned upon.
