SC Slams ED's 'Inhuman Conduct' During 'Illegal' Interrogation Of Congress Ex-MLA
New Delhi, Jan 3 The Supreme Court has observed ED's "high-handedness" and "inhuman conduct" during an almost 15-hour-long interrogation of former Haryana Congress MLA Surender Panwar and upheld an order saying his arrest was illegal. A bench of Justices Abhay S Oka and Augustine George Masih said it was an "inhuman conduct" on part of ED officers as the case was not related to some terror activity but of an alleged illegal sand mining. On September 29, 2024, the high court said primarily, as per the grounds of arrest, the allegation against the petitioner pertained to illegal mining or supplying the illegally mined material. The high court observed the continuous interrogation for over 14 hours "was not heroic" on ED's part and it was rather against the dignity of a human being.
