Recently, the D.K. Basu Judgment (1996) against police abuse and custodial violence was emphasized by the Supreme Court of India. In D.K. Basu v. State of West Bengal, a seminal case, deaths in police custody were discussed. Due to the petitioner D.K. Basu's attention to the matter, the ruling that custodial violence is against human dignity and the rule of law was rendered. The decision allowed for compensation for the infringement of fundamental rights, thereby broadening their scope. In Indian human rights law, this case is crucial.
