2014 (4) TMI 1296 - HC - Indian LawsSeeking to explain the delay in registration of FIR on the basis of the complaint of the petitioners - HELD THAT:- There are occasion to come across cases where the police administration has shown laxity in the matter of registration of first information report and in investigating the same, thereby pushing the aggrieved complainant to knock the doors of the relevant magistrate. It is time for the Commissioner of Police, Kolkata Police (hereafter the CP) insofar as the police officials posted in police stations under his jurisdictional control as well as the Director General and Inspector General of Police (hereafter the DGP) for the police officials posted at police stations beyond the jurisdiction of Kolkata Police to introspect and to take stock of the performance of each of such officers who, despite being aware of the law relating to registration of first information report, simply refuse to register the same on the specious ground that an inquiry is necessary without, however, realizing the situation which would call for an inquiry. It is high time for the police officers to be made aware of the decisions of the Supreme Court as well as this Court on the point of registration of first information report - the DGP and the CP shall take appropriate steps in this regard. Since Mr. Amit Biswas has been transferred from the post of Officer-in-Charge, Entally Police Station on 17th January, 2014, the present incumbent on such post shall submit a status port regarding progress of investigation of of Entally P.S. Case No.22 dated 15th January, 2014 before this Court on 23rd April, 2014, when this writ petition shall be listed under the heading ‘To Be Mentioned’.
