AGARTALA, Sep 28 (TIWN): Almost about 6 thousand cases are pending in Manik’s Golden state which are left with unsolved reslolutions, once again questions on the negligence of police in inverstigation procedure. However, Tripura police has defined such cases as sine-die cases, which means the cases which adjournmented without a day for hearing due to police’s failure to catch the accused.

But, Tripura High Court had also said that there is nothing called “sign-die” in court’s language, it can only be used in parliamentary meetings. High Court also mentioned that the cases which are pending, needs to be solved at fast. As a result including the DG, High Court has noticed order the police dept to send their views on how they issue the warrant. On Moday the afivavid in this regard would be submitted to the High Court by DG.  

It’s to be mentioned that police’s neglegence is fully responsible for such pending cases here in Tripura, because if any person shows unwillingness to be present in the court police can arrest them and make them present in court.  After getting the warrant, police can arrest the accuse and easily produce him/her before the court.

But the  attitude of police here is almost ciminal-friendly, which works against the welfare of people. Police here also do not lodge FIRs and from high officials of police to every police staff has been found alleged for such attitudes. In total of 5 times that the High Court has show caused the police department for not lodging FIRs. Before few days also Sephijala SP Pradip De was asked by High Court for not lodging FIR, although the victim’s family himself went to the SP Office and urged to lodge his FIR. Also according to the Supreme Court, it is mandatory for the Police to register an FIR if a complainant approaches it for the registration of a cognizable offence. Registration of FIR is mandatory under Section 154 of the Code, if the information discloses commission of a cognizable offence and no preliminary inquiry is permissible in such a situation. If the information received does not disclose a cognizable offence but indicates the necessity for an inquiry, a preliminary inquiry may be conducted only to ascertain whether cognizable offence is disclosed or not.

But here police also after getting the warrant, with many excuses do not arrest the accused and anyhow send an investigation charge shit to the court. Either with the excuse of an absconding accused or the accused had changed the address, the cases are tried to be closed. As a result, the judges also can not further proceed with the cases. Thus it shows the irresponsibilities and negligence of Tripura Police which has allowed more than 6000 cases to be hanged in the court and the victims here often die without getting the justice.

However, with the order of High Court a busy environment has been initiated in all the poilce stations and SP offices. But High Court Chief Justice asked the DG to show affidavids before the court on Monday about how many cases are pending, in pending cases how many times actions had been taken by police, or police had met the victim’s family all these.
