State to provide Compensation in case of Delays in solving the Cases: Madras HC

Live Law  

Taking a cue from a case wherein a petitioner’s 15 year old daughter’s murder case was not solved by the police authorities till then, the Madras High Court said that the state was liable to pay compensation in cases which remain unsolved by police for years. Justice S Nagamuthu of the Court's Madurai bench said if police were not able to solve the murder, then government is liable to pay compensation because the citizens' right was infringed. The money could be recovered when police arrested the criminals, the judge said, hearing a petition filed by the father of the murdered girl.The father was waiting agonizingly for four years for justice and wanted to know who was the perpetrator, the court said.The trauma and agony suffered by the family could not be viewed lightly. The Central Bureau-CID could not solve the problem for two years, and then CBI, which took over the investigation also could not solve it in 20 months, the judge said, observing when a citizen's right is infringed by an unscrupulous criminal and when the crime could not be detected by the state police,then they had to pay compensation.
