copy of the report submitted by the I.O of P.S. Paschim Vihar, at the time the
case was transferred from P.S. Paschim Vihar to EOW. It is noticed that the
CPIO in his reply on this point has stated that no such report has been

to the appellant. The respondent is directed, to fix the date for examination of
such documents by the appellant and a copy of it be given to him on payment.
The above directions are complied within 15 days of receipt of this order.
