Though the detenue ultimately came to be released pursuant to the order dated 08.06.2026 passed by this Court, the petitioner further seeks adjudication upon the issue of illegal deprivation of personal liberty, fixation of accountability upon the erring officials, and grant of appropriate compensation for violation of the fundamental rights guaranteed under Articles 14 and 21 of the Constitution o
