After losing 16 years of youth in jail, J&K man gets clean chit - Times of India

After his acquittal in the case, Wani does not need benefit of this unprecedented order. CJI Khehar could not hide his exasperation at the ineptitude shown by UP and Delhi police. "What a shame! He has been acquitted in 10 out of 11 serious cases slapped on him. No credible evidence has been found against him by the trial courts. The problem with police is they keep persons in jail and not lead evidence against them in court," he said on April 25.

A lawyer mentioned on Twitter that the courts have rejected demand for monetary compensation in the past for unlawful imprisonment. If the CJI feels so bad for the guy, he should have awarded him a large sum of money taken from the salary/pension from the people responsible for this mess.
