New Delhi: Reacting over the several reports of delay in filing case reports by investigating officers, the Deputy Commissioner of Police of South West District has ordered the police officials to conduct an exercise and give the break up of the cases of last six years.
The timely submission of case reports stands as a crucial pillar of accountability and justice.
However, recent revelations in the South-East District of New Delhi have unveiled a systemic issue: the delay in filing case reports by investigating officers(IOS).
This concern, echoing through the corridors of justice, has prompted a proactive response from the Delhi Police authorities.
At the heart of the matter lies a fundamental disconnect between the completion of investigations and the subsequent filing of final reports in court. It has been brought to light that after wrapping up their investigation, IOs obtain approval on final reports from authorised officials but withhold the police report, without clear justification.
This unnecessary delay in filing reports not only hampers the swift administration of justice but also undermines public confidence in law enforcement agencies.
