Lucknow: Court expresses displeasure over conflicting reports submitted by two sub-inspectors in a theft case

A court in Lucknow has raised serious questions regarding police procedures. According to reports from the Amar Ujala network, two sub-inspectors submitted contradictory reports concerning the address of an accused in a theft case registered at the Malihabad police station, leading to confusion.

Upon observing this discrepancy, ADJ Ravindra Prasad Gupta expressed deep dissatisfaction. The court characterized the situation as an example of police negligence and an irresponsible attitude. The judge emphasized that such inconsistencies hinder the judicial process.

During the hearing, when both reports were examined, a clear difference regarding the accused's address was noted. The existence of two separate reports for the same case casts doubt on the integrity of the police investigation process.

Taking the matter seriously, the court has ordered senior officials to conduct an investigation. It has been directed that those responsible for this negligence must be identified and appropriate action taken against them.

Legal experts suggest that reports submitted by the police are vital for the court. If the reports themselves contain contradictions, resolving the case becomes significantly more difficult.

The court has also issued instructions to ensure that such mistakes are not repeated in the future. The police are required to be more vigilant and responsible while preparing their investigation reports.

This incident has also raised questions about the functioning of the local police administration. All eyes are now on the departmental inquiry to see what facts emerge and what action is taken against the erring police personnel.
