Follow criminal procedures to avoid wasting judicial time: Delhi court

A Delhi court told the Joint Commissioner of Police that criminal procedure rules must be followed to prevent wasting the time of the court and judicial staff. The Bench stressed that the processes court receives from the police regarding a case must be proper.

Additional Sessions Judge Sunil Beniwal issued notice to Joint Commissioner of Police (Southwest) to follow "CrPC and Punjab Police Rules" to allow the court "to manage its cause list and time which will ensure more efficiency and productivity."

The court made the statement because the summons, notices, and other processes issued by the court through the police department are received on the date of hearing which makes it impossible to run the court smoothly, reported The Indian Express.

Judge Beniwal asked the Joint Commissioner of Police to file a compliance report of dispersal of this message to the police force.
