JAMMU, July 27: Railway Magistrate Jammu Yahaya Firdous today issued non-bailable warrants against SHO Kanachak Neeraj Choudhary.
While issuing non-bailable warrants, Railway Magistrate took serious note of the functioning of SHO and observed, “he has absolutely no regards for the court orders and this court would not hesitate in making the observation that absence of SHO indicates lack of accountability and supervision from superior officers monitoring executions and court cases”.
“Moreover, SHO has not bothered either to appear in person in the court as was required or to intimate the prosecution regarding his absence. This court is constrained to make these observations and bring into the notice of SSP Jammu and IGP Jammu so that they are made aware of working of their subordinates”, Railway Magistrate said.
In the complaint which was presented on 04.07.2016 the court before initiating the proceedings under Section 512 CrPC directed SHO Kanachak on 10.05.2018 to appear before court for recording his statement in support of the execution of the summon. But he did not appear and thereafter the court vide order dated 07.06.2018 issued a bailable warrant amounting to Rs 10,000 with the direction to SSP Jammu to ensure that warrant is executed.
“Prosecuting Officer has returned the warrant after obtaining the personal bonds of SHO Kanachak but it is unfortunate to observe that despite furnishing bail bond, SHO has chosen to remain absent”, the Railway Magistrate said.
