    Written notice must to summon person for questioning

    Soibam Rocky Singh


    NEW DELHI, APRIL 24, 2018 01:38 IST

    New regulations will go a long way in ensuring transparency, High Court tells Delhi
    Police
    In what will bring transparency in the working of the Delhi Police and the rights of all persons
    who are called for enquiries, the High Court has directed the police to strictly follow a fresh set of
    guidelines that mandates sending written notices to summon a person for questioning.

    A Bench of Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice C. Hari Shankar said the new regulations
    will go “a long way in ensuring transparency in the working of the police machinery and ensuring
    justice to suspect accused persons as well as those required to appear before the police”.
    The new guidelines, titled ‘Procedure for Issuance of Notices/Order by Police Officers under
    Sections 41A [CrPC]’, state that a police officer is required to issue notices formally to the person
    being called for questioning during investigation of a case.

    It also laid down provisions in which a suspect or accused on appearing before the police officer
    at the police station may request for an acknowledgement.

    Disciplinary proceedings
    Failure on the part of the police officer to comply with the mandate of the provisions of the Code
    of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) and the above guidelines could attract appropriate disciplinary
    proceedings as well as contempt of court proceedings, the Bench cautioned.

    9/25/2019 Written notice must to summon person for questioning - The Hindu

    The High Court’s ruling came on a plea by a man who was facing proceedings before the Crime
    Against Women Cell here at the instance of his wife. He stated that he was regularly summoned to
    the police station to join investigations without a single written notice being served upon him.
    He said several documents, in his defence, were tendered by him during the proceedings before
    the cell during the investigation. But no receipt was given to him.

    Critical bearing
    He contended that these documents having a critical bearing on his case were not made part of the
    record by the police.
    Due to this, the petitioner said, he had no material or evidence to support his contention that he
    had regularly joined investigation and also that he had tendered several documents which
    manifested that he was innocent in the case.
    The High Court, in its February verdict, said the guidelines shall be posted on the official website
    of the Delhi Police and effective publicity given to ensure that the public is apprised of the
    procedure which has to be followed.

    It said necessary features of the guidelines shall be prominently displayed at all police stations in
    English and vernacular languages to enable every person who visits the police station of the
    procedure.
