Answer:
Protect the rights and dignity of individuals in police custody
Notes: The Supreme Court of India recently emphasized the D.K. Basu Judgment (1996) against police abuse and custodial violence. The landmark case, D.K. Basu vs. State of West Bengal, addressed deaths in police custody. The petitioner, D.K. Basu, highlighted the issue, leading to the judgment that custodial violence violates the rule of law and human dignity. The ruling expanded the scope of fundamental rights, allowing compensation for their infringement. This case is pivotal in Indian human rights jurisprudence.
