April 24, 2025

NEW DELHI:

The court held that punishing personnel long after the fact, based on what could have been done differently with hindsight, would amount to "grave injustice."

The apex court was deciding the case of one Durga Prasad, who was serving as station house officer (SHO) of Kingsway Camp police station when riots broke out in Delhi after the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
