Madhya Pradesh HC Asks Registrar IT, Additional DGP SCRB To Explain Steps Taken For Seamless Requisitioning & Transmission Of Case Diaries

The Superintendents of Police of four districts told the Indore bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court that as per the present system of communication the requisition of case diaries is sent through Radio/Wireless Message or WhatsApp to the district's Nodal Officer who further sends it to the concerned police station, wherein sometimes, the communication is delayed or goes missing. The court thereafter asked its Registrar IT and the Additional Director General of Police State Crime Records Bureau to appear in the matter on the next date along with the concerned Superintendents of Police of the four districts to explain steps taken in furtherance of the court's earlier directions issued in September 2024 in another matter. In its last order dated January 21, the Court had expressed concern regarding administrative lapse in communication of message for production of case diary since in almost 10 cases before him, case diaries were not produced by the concerned police station. On January 23, the SPs informed the court that as per the present system of communication, the requisition of case diaries is forwarded through Radio/Wireless Message or Whatsapp Message to a Nodal Officer of the District, who further communicates the message to concerned police station.
