Uttar Pradesh police hunts for judge instead of accused in bizarre mix-up
Firozabad: In a strange goof-up, an Uttar Pradesh police official in Firozabad launched a hunt for a judge after writing down her name in place of the accused man on the proclamation order in a theft case.
The confusion came to light last month when Sub-Inspector Banwarilal, who was assigned to deliver a court notice to theft suspect Rajkumar, informed the chief judicial magistrate, Nagma Khan, that the accused “Nagma Khan" could not be found at her house, even after a thorough search.
“When I served the attached non-bailable warrant (NBW), a thorough search was carried out at the mentioned address. However, no accused person by that name was found living there. Therefore, I request you to kindly give further orders," the cop told the court.
In her March 24 order, Magistrate Khan said it was "quite bizarre" that Banwarilal had "little to no idea of what was sent by this court, who exactly sent it and against whom".
"Without giving an inch of attention to the process, he first carelessly mentions the proclamation as an NBW and he then just wrote the name of the presiding officer quite blindly," she asserted.
The Magistrate further observed that the developments made it clear that Banwarilal “made zero efforts to pay heed" to the court orders, which showed “neglect and carelessness" in his duties as a police official.
She directed senior police officials, including the Uttar Pradesh Police chief, to take action against Banwarilal to ensure that “such careless acts" are not repeated.
