The Allahabad High Court described the civil liberties situation in Uttar Pradesh as "shameful" and criticized the police for having little regard for citizens' fundamental rights. In a habeas corpus case, the court noted police often claim CCTV malfunctions to withhold footage, obstructing truth. The court ordered the release of petitioner Aausad Ahmad if not wanted elsewhere and directed Rs 20,000 costs to be paid to him by the state.
