Disciplinary action against police officer for wrogful arrest

rayu mahambare (Querist) 03 November 2013 This query is : Resolved
Dear Sir/Madam,

In violation of guidelines in Joginder Kumar’s case for arresting a person, what is a legal recourse available for the victim ? After directions from the Hon’ble High Court fresh enquiry was held against the erring police officer when he was exonerated from the charges in 1st enquiry and subsequently held guilty in 2nd enquiry. For his proved guilt of unnecessary and high handed action of arresting a person, he was punished by the police authority by “stoppage of two increments” which is an eyewash and grossly inadequate when a victim is facing humiliation in the society. What can be done in this situation ? Kindly guide me.
