The Supreme Court of India has decided to review a petition that calls for the establishment of a national compensation policy for individuals who have been unjustly imprisoned. The petition, filed by Jawaharlal Sharma, emphasizes the need for a uniform framework to provide both monetary and non-monetary relief to victims of arbitrary imprisonment. This includes support for counseling, livelihood assistance, and social reintegration. The petition argues that there is a significant gap in the current legal framework, as there are no established guidelines for compensating those who have suffered due to prolonged unjust detention. It stresses that arbitrary imprisonment violates constitutional principles of fairness and justice, and calls for a dedicated compensation fund to ensure timely relief for affected individuals.
