New Delhi: Actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s house help Dipesh Sawant has moved the Bombay high court seeking Rs 10 lakh as compensation, saying the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) detained him ‘illegally’ and in violation of Articles 21 and 22 of the constitution.Sawant is accused of procuring drugs for the actor and was among the many associates of Rajput who was arrested. He was granted bail by the Bombay high court along with Rhea Chakraborty and Samuel Miranda, the actor’s house manager.According to LiveLaw, the petition says that though the NCB has shown in the records that Sawant was arrested on September 5 at 8 pm, he was in fact arrested on September 4 at 10 pm. He was detained by the NCB until he was produced before a Holiday Remand Court at Esplanade on September 6, at 1:30 pm, which remanded him to the NCB’s custody till September 9. The petition says that he was detained for 36 hours and was not produced before a magistrate within 24 hours of his detention, which violates the Supreme Court’s directions and also Article 22 of the constitution.The petition adds that no contraband was recovered from Sawant. “It is further humbly submitted that there is absolutely no nexus between the Petitioner and any contraband of commercial quantity,” it says.Sawant’s petition also says that though the sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act under which he was booked are bailable, the NCB was granted his custody initially until September 9, which was later extended twice.The petition asks the Bombay high court to take action against the NCB on the grounds that Sawant is “innocent and has been falsely framed in the instant matter”. “There is absolutely no iota of evidence to frame charge against the Petitioner under the NDPS Act, 1985,” the petition adds.“Therefore, the order of the sessions court subjecting the Petitioner for Judicial Custody is illegal and the same deserves to be quashed and set aside,” it adds.The petitioner prayed that the HC hold the detention of Sawant “illegal and bad in law” and issue directions to take action against two NCB officers for non-compliance with the directions issued by SC the D.K. Basu vs State of West Bengal case.The Union of India should compensate Sawant with Rs 10 lakh for his “illegal detention and grossviolation of the Articles 21 and 22 of the constitution of India”, the prayer says, adding that the orders of both the holiday remand court and the sessions court subjecting the petitioner to custody should be quashed and set aside.
