Chandigarh: RTS panel fines SHO ₹10k for not providing DDR copy within 1-hour deadline

The chief commissioner of the Chandigarh Right to Service Commission, Mahavir Singh, has imposed a penalty of ₹10,000 on the station house officer (SHO) of the Sector 49 police station for failing to provide a required document under the Right to Service Act. On April 1, 2025, petitioner Navjot Lehal had submitted a written request to Om Parkash, the SHO-cum-investigating officer, seeking a copy of the daily diary report (DDR) dated November 6, 2024. The DDR recorded the addition of Sections 467, 468 and 471 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) to an existing FIR registered in 2018 under Sections 406, 420 and 120-B of the IPC. Initially filed by her father, Gurmukh Singh Lehal, the case now lists Navjot as the complainant. As per a notification issued on March 8, 2022, under the Right to Service Act, such documents must be provided by the SHO within one hour. However, no action was taken by the officer, which the commission deemed a violation of the Act. Navjot then filed a first appeal before the SDPO (South)-cum-first appellate authority on April 2. The appeal was dismissed the same day, citing that sharing the DDR could influence the investigating officer and potentially interfere with the ongoing investigation. It was stated that relevant documents would be provided once the supplementary challan was submitted in due course. Subsequently, on April 7, Navjot filed a second appeal before the senior superintendent of police (SSP)-cum-second appellate authority, which was also rejected on April 11. Aggrieved by denials, the petitioner filed a revision petition with the Chandigarh Right to Service Commission on April 15. The commission then sought detailed comments from the SSP and called both parties—Navjot and Om Parkash—to appear on May 14. During the hearing, Om Parkash repeated the same justifications previously given by the first and second appellate authorities. However, the petitioner submitted a copy of general diary details dated March 28, 2025, from the same police station, showing that a copy of FIR No 39 dated June 29, 2024, had been supplied to another complainant—undermining the SHO's defence. In its ruling, the commission stated, 'The designated officer ignored the petitioner's request. No service was provided, nor was any formal order issued denying the request. The first appellate authority failed to apply judicial mind and simply upheld a flawed legal interpretation. The order is devoid of merit.' After evaluating the case, the chief commissioner concluded that the SHO had wilfully neglected his duty, deliberately obstructed access to service, and violated the provisions of the Right to Service Act. Consequently, Om Parkash was found guilty of dereliction of duty, and a penalty of ₹10,000 was imposed on him. The commission also issued a directive to the senior superintendent of police to ensure the installation of display boards at police stations highlighting all notified public services under the act. These boards must also list the official e-mail IDs of the designated officers and the first and second appellate authorities. This information must also be uploaded on the police department's official website.

Chandigarh RTS commission fines police officer for delay in service delivery

Chandigarh: The Chandigarh Right to Service Commission has imposed a penalty of Rs 10,000 on the SHO of Sector 49 police station for a delay in the delivery of services under the Right to Service Commission. The decision came on the petition of Navjot Lehal. Lehal, through her email dated April 1, 2025, requested the SHO to supply her with a copy of the DDR dated Nov 6, 2024. As per the RTS rules and notified services under the RTS Act, the document sought by the petitioner was to be provided by the SHO within one hour from the submission of the application by her. However, the SHO did not take any action on her request, thus failing to provide the service. Feeling aggrieved, the petitioner preferred a first appeal before the SDPO (south) on April 2. The SDPO disposed of the appeal, stating that as per Section 5 (2) of the Right to Service Act , a copy of the sought DDR cannot be provided as the complainant may pressurise the investigating officer and hamper the investigation. As the case is still under investigation, the relevant documents will be provided to the complainant/applicant when the supplementary challan is submitted in due course. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Find packaging machines built for small businesses automated packaging systems Learn More Undo Accordingly, the petitioner, on April 7, went for a second appeal before the SSP, UT. The SSP on April 11 dismissed the second appeal of the petitioner. Thereafter, she approached the commission on April 17. The commission observed, "The designated officer did not pay any heed to the request of the petitioner. Neither the service was provided nor any order rejecting the request of the petitioner was passed by him. Also, the first appellate authority did not apply his mind and blindly accepted this flawed interpretation of law by the designated officer… Similarly, the view of intermingling of the Right to Service Act and the Right to Information Act, taken by the second appellate authority, is also not tenable. " The commissioner held SHO Om Parkash guilty of not complying with the provisions of the Right to Service Act as he intentionally did not act on the request of the petitioner and thus failed to provide the service to her within the stipulated time limit. "To meet the requirements of justice, impose a penalty of Rs 10,000 on him. He is also directed to supply a copy of DDR No 057 dated Nov 6, 2024, immediately to the petitioner," the commission directed.

Dismissed woman cop Amandeep's accomplice Sonu arrested in Mohali

Balwinder Singh, alias Sonu, an accomplice of dismissed woman constable of Mansa police Amandeep Kaur, who was caught allegedly with heroin on April 2, was arrested by the CIA staff police in the Zirakpur area of Mohali on Monday. Sonu, who has been absconding since April 4, has two cases registered against him — one for alleged drug trafficking at the Canal Colony police station and another for allegedly assaulting a woman on court premises at the Civil Lines police station. Zirakpur police station SHO Jaskanwal Singh Sekhon said, 'Based on a tip-off, the CIA Bathinda police team arrested Sonu in Zirakpur on Monday and took him to Bathinda. A Daily Diary Register (DDR) in this regard was written at the Zirakpur police station.' Based on Amandeep Kaur's interrogation, the Bathinda police named Sonu an accused and have been conducting raids since then to arrest him, police said. For the past 18 days, multiple police teams had been conducting raids across Punjab, Haryana and Delhi to trace Sonu, but he remained elusive. However, sources said, the police received information that Sonu had been hiding in an area in Zirakpur, Mohali, for the past few days. Acting on the tip-off, a team of CIA Bathinda police left for Zirakpur late Sunday night, and by Monday afternoon, they arrested Sonu, they said, adding that after taking him into custody, the police team left for Bathinda. Police sources said Sonu's arrest came a day before Amandeep, who was sent to 14-day judicial custody, was scheduled to be produced before the court on Tuesday.
