Shafirun & Ors.” passed by the High Court of Delhi at New Delhi. 2. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and on perusal of records, we are of the considered view that interest of justice would be best served, protecting the interest of the parties if the amount of compensation as awarded by the High Court in terms of the impugned judgment, is enhanced. 3. It is not in dispute that respondent herein has not challenged the impugned judgment which records the finding with regard to the death of the prison inmates viz. Ram Avtar Singh and Abdul Hafiz who were in judicial custody in relation to offence registered at different police stations within the territorial limits of NCT of Delhi. 4. Originally the writ Court (Single Judge) vide the judgment dated 2nd April, 2009, titled as ‘Smt. Guddo and Another Vs.

However, the same was reduced, in an Appeal by the Division Bench of the High Court in terms of the impugned judgment payable to Rs.4,00,000/-and Rs.3,50,000/-, respectively. 5. It is also not in dispute that the legal heirs of the deceased have already withdrawn the compensation amount quantified in terms of the impugned judgment and order passed by the Division Bench. 6.
