High Court : How many police officers are facing criminal proceedings

PRAYAGRAJ

The High Court taking serious note of delay tactics being adopted to take action against, police officers facing  criminal  proceedings, has asked the Director General of Police (DGP) to appoint a senior officer who should be given responsibility to  find out how many police officers are being taken criminal action against them and to submit complete report on next hearing which will be on January 10, 2024.

Passing the above said order on a  petition  Mr. Justice Sanjay Kumar Singh,  asked the DGP to file an affidavit bringing on record the district-wise list of such police officers who are involved in any criminal case.

Detail report  of the  Summons, bailable warrants or non-bailable warrants which  have been issued against police officers  but also those summons/warrants have not been served on time and the trial proceedings are getting delayed, has also been called.

The court  further directed to provide the above said  order to Director General of police within 48 hours and also directed Registrar to comply with the order. It expressed dissatisfaction over the action taken by the Superintendent of Police, Jaunpur against the guilty police officers.

It was held that said that such cases are often coming to light, in which police officers are accused in criminal cases and the process of repeatedly issuing summons, bailable warrants and non-bailable warrants against them is going on. But, they are not responding to the concerned court.

The court fails to understand why the process of summons or warrants issued against such police officers is not being delivered in time. Whereas, they are discharging their official duty. Are receiving salary.
