SC orders ₹6 lakh for UP man jailed six years, then acquitted

The Supreme Court directed the Uttar Pradesh government to pay ₹6 lakh to a man who spent nearly six years in jail as an undertrial in an Agra kidnapping and murder case before acquittal. He was not named in the 2019 FIR. A bench of Justices JB Pardiwala and K Vinod Chandran called it a travesty of justice and urged better police training.
