JAMMU, Feb 23: Special Municipal Magistrate Jammu, V S Bhou today directed Special Public Prosecutor Senior Advocate Sunil Sethi to produce case diary of Amandeep murder case in sealed cover for perusal of the Court.
The directions were passed in a complaint filed by Choudhary Nagar Singh against then SSP Jammu, Basant Rath, SP Mubassir Latifi, Abdul Rouf Lone, Kamaljeet Singh and Hardeep Singh Gill about unprecedented torture at Gandhi Nagar Police Station.
After hearing Advocate Rajesh Kotwal along with Advocate Mandeep Singh for Choudhary Nagar Singh, Special Municipal Magistrate observed, “CPO has filed a compliance report by DIG Jammu-Kathua range pursuant to the directions issued on February 17, 2012. The report reveals that communication was made to the Senior Advocate Sunil Sethi by the DIG vide letter dated February 18, 2012 for providing CD file in the case for production of the same”.
“However, Special PP in his reference dated February 20, 2012 has refused to handover the CD file on reason quoted in his communication. In this back-ground, it is observed that compliance report and communication of Special PP dated February 20, 2012 suffer from mistaken and misconceived understanding of law and can be construed as obstruction in the administration of criminal justice”, the Court said.
With these observations, the Court sounded a note of caution to DIG for evasive approach and directed Special PP to produce case diary of Amandeep murder case in sealed cover.
