A Delhi Court recently asked the Joint Commissioner of Police (Southwest) to ensure that the processes that the Court receives from the Police in relation to a specific case are in the proper format as prescribed by the Criminal procedure rules, in order to avoid wasting time of the court and its staff.
The Court made the observations on October 7, stating that summons, notices, and other processes issued in the Court file through the police department are received on the date of hearing, making it impossible to conduct the Court smoothly.
The Judge mandated the Joint Commissioner of Police to provide a compliance report on the message’s dispersion with the police force.
