The Telangana High Court on Wednesday took a serious note of Karimnagar Two Town police station Inspector not issuing a First Information Report based on a woman’s complaint despite it issuing a direction to register a case.
Taking a strong exception to the police officer not registering the case even after the woman went to the police station the previous day, the HC summoned the Station House Officer to appear before it on Friday to explain his inaction. A Bench of Chief Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice Anil Kumar Jukanti was hearing a writ petition filed by a woman stating that the police were not registering the case despite she specifically lodging a complaint of outraging modesty.
When the matter came up for hearing, the petitioner’s counsel informed the Bench that the petitioner went to Karimnagar two town police station the previous day. She was at the police station from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. but the staff there did not take her complaint despite informing them that the HC had issued a direction to issue FIR based on her complaint.
