The Kerala Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission has summoned the North Paravur Station House Officer (SHO) to appear before it and explain the reasons for not acting on its order to execute a warrant for the arrest of the accused in an apartment cheating case dating back almost a decade.
The SHO has been asked to appear on May 28. A bench comprising commission president K. Surendramohan and member K.R. Radhakrishnan dubbed the failure of the police to execute the decade-old warrant “irresponsible and unpardonable”.
“We notice from the proceedings that we had issued a non-bailable warrant against the judgment debtors to be executed through the North Paravur SHO. However, neither has he executed the warrant nor had intimated any reason for non-compliance. The warrant was thereafter issued through the District Police Chief [Ernakulam Rural] for due execution,” the Commission observed.
