A city court has asked the Delhi government and the Delhi police to create a mechanism for ensuring implementation and compliance of judicial orders passed against erring officials and also give it “transparent and prompt” feedback.
The court’s order came while dealing with a case in which a senior citizen was robbed and found dead after he went missing and no action was taken by the police.
The senior citizen was even cremated as unclaimed despite the fact that a missing person’s complaint had already been lodged with the police.
The court said the feedback of authorities on the action taken against erring officials has to be “transparent and prompt” so that it could bring some difference at the ground level.
“It is only this step which will help in bringing about professionalism and seriousness in the investigating agency at the lower rung which presently appears to be lacking to a large extent,” additional sessions judge Kamini Lau said.
