UP Cop Hunts For Judge Instead Of Accused In Bizarre Mix-Up Of Court Order

A police constable in Uttar Pradesh's Firozabad went hunting for a judge after writing down her name in place of the accused man on the proclamation order in a theft case. However, he informed the chief judicial magistrate, Nagma Khan that the accused "Nagma Khan" could not be found at her home despite a "thorough search". 'Quite Bizarre' In her March 24 order, Magistrate Khan pulled up the cop calling out the mix-up "quite bizarre". "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 said. Magistrate Khan also advised the police officer serving court notices to "exercise the highest level of care" as these processes "entail heavy consequences".
