OBC Youth Forced To Wash Another’s Feet | MP High Court Asks Why State Detained Under NSA Before Order Was Officially Uploaded

The Madhya Pradesh High Court took suo motu cognizance of an incident involving an OBC youth forced to wash another person’s feet and drink the water. The Court questioned the State’s decision to detain the accused under the National Security Act before the official upload of the order. The bench emphasized that preventive detention laws must be exercised strictly within legal bounds and criticized procedural lapses in executing the order prematurely. The case underscores issues of caste-based humiliation, due process, and misuse of preventive detention provisions.
