JAMMU, Sept 15: The Presiding Officer of the Fast Track Court, Jammu, Amarjeet Singh Langeh today came down heavily on the Station House Officer (SHO) of Police Station Gangyal for failing to file a report in an anticipatory bail application despite clear directions from the court.
The case pertained to Ajay Kumar, 38, who had sought anticipatory bail. The court had on September 10 directed the concerned SHO to submit a report within five days. However, when the matter was taken up today, the prosecution admitted that no report had been received from the police station.
Expressing displeasure, the court said bail matters are directly linked to the liberty of an individual and must be dealt with expeditiously. He criticized the SHO’s “insouciant attitude,” calling it a blatant disregard of judicial authority.
The court has now directed the SHO of Gangyal to not only submit the report without further delay but also remain present in person on September 17 to explain the reasons for disobedience. The order was dispatched immediately to the SHO through prosecution for strict compliance.
