Since the police authorities had taken no steps for tracing the<br \/>\nwhereabouts of their daughter, pursuant to the FIR filed by them, an<br \/>\napplication under Section 97 of the Code of Criminal Procedure was<br \/>\nfiled in the Court of learned JMFC, Bhiloda, but the search warrant<br \/>\nissued by the Court could not be executed. It is alleged that<br \/>\nrespondent Nos.5 and 6 are headstrong persons and having political<br \/>\ninfluence and economically sound condition. The petition was admitted<br \/>\non 28.09.2011 and Rule was made returnable on 03.10.2011. On<br \/>\n03.10.2011, hearing was adjourned at the request of learned APP, who<br \/>\nstated, on instructions of the Circle Police Inspector, Bhiloda, that<br \/>\nall possible efforts shall be made to trace respondent Nos.4 and 5 in<br \/>\nthe meantime and to produce the corpus. On 18.10.2011, learned APP<br \/>\nstated, on instructions of DSP, Sabarkantha &#8211; Mr. D.P. Patel,<br \/>\nwho was personally present in the Court, that everything possible<br \/>\nshall be done to see that the corpus could be produced before this<br \/>\nCourt on the next date of hearing.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.\tLearned<br \/>\nAPP has produced affidavit-in-reply of DSP, Sabarkantha and letters<br \/>\nand reports dated 02.10.2011, 17.10.2011 and 07.11.2011. It is stated<br \/>\nin these reports and letters, inter-alia, that respondent No.6<br \/>\nherein is the Sarpanch of Village Shamlaji and he had not allowed the<br \/>\npetitioner to even register their complaint for 12 days. It is<br \/>\nrevealed that respondent No.6 has already obtained bail on 06.09.2011<br \/>\nby order of the learned Single Judge of this Court in Criminal Misc.<br \/>\nApplication No.12473 of 2011. That order is specifically subject to<br \/>\nthe condition that the applicant therein, i.e. respondent No.6 herein<br \/>\nshall maintain law and order and cooperate with the Investigating<br \/>\nOfficer and not act in a manner injurious to the interest of the<br \/>\nprosecution. According to the reports submitted before this Court,<br \/>\nrespondent No.6 has not only not cooperated with the investigation,<br \/>\nbut also not cared to respond to the summons issued to him on<br \/>\n09.10.2011. On the other hand, the investigation has revealed that he<br \/>\nappeared to be in contact with respondent Nos.4 and 5. As and when<br \/>\nthe police were trying to locate accused Nos.4 and 5 by tracing their<br \/>\nMobile call details, either the trail<br \/>\nwent cold or they appeared to be contacting the other<br \/>\npersons involved by different Mobile instruments. When the local<br \/>\nresidence of respondent No.6 was approached alongwith Panchas and a<br \/>\nPanchnama was being prepared, respondent No.6 was found to be present<br \/>\nand in a drunken condition and a Criminal Case being III-C.R. No.5289<br \/>\nof 2011 has been registered in Modasa Town Police Station. It is also<br \/>\nrevealed that even the police custody of respondent No.6 has proved<br \/>\nto be futile and in some earlier cases of similar nature, FIRs were<br \/>\nnot allowed to be registered. The respondent Nos.4, 5 and 6 appeared<br \/>\nto be closely related and connected, according to the police report.<br \/>\nIt is mentioned in the report dated 02.10.2011, addressed to learned<br \/>\nAPP by the Circle Police Inspector, that respondent No.6 is<br \/>\nestablished as a hardened criminal and about 4 months ago, he was<br \/>\nalleged to have caused kidnapping of a married woman by his brother,<br \/>\nnamely, Surendra and after paying Rs.1,11,000\/- and threatening the<br \/>\nhusband and father-in-law of the victim, not allowed any complaint to<br \/>\nbe lodged. That victim and brother of respondent No.6 are also not<br \/>\nfound till date. According to the statement recorded on 15.08.2011 of<br \/>\nthe husband of that woman, his wife was kidnapped in June 2011.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.\tAll<br \/>\nthe above facts, revealed from the papers produced by the police,<br \/>\nprima facie, indicated that the police officers concerned were<br \/>\npractically helpless and far from sincere in pursuing the matter for<br \/>\ninvestigating the offences, while young daughter of the petitioner is<br \/>\nnot in contact or unable to communicate with the petitioner. The<br \/>\npolice reports also revealed that the police officers concerned were<br \/>\nrunning from one location to another at public expense right upto the<br \/>\nborders of the State, while respondent Nos.4 and 5 may, as well, be<br \/>\nforcibly confining respondent No.7 somewhere in the District of<br \/>\nSabarkantha itself. Learned APP has advanced lame and unconvincing<br \/>\nexcuse that the police is doing needful and even an application for<br \/>\ncancellation of bail of respondent No.6 is proposed to be filed in<br \/>\nthe Sessions Court concerned, even as respondent No.6 is granted bail<br \/>\nby this Court. Admittedly, no application under Section 82 of Code of<br \/>\nCriminal Procedure is filed for forcing appearance of the accused<br \/>\npersons. An application for cancellation of bail is not even proposed<br \/>\nto be filed in the High Court, which granted bail to respondent No.6,<br \/>\nsubject to the conditions as aforesaid. The mother of the corpus, who<br \/>\nwas personally present in the Court has expressed serious<br \/>\napprehension about safety of her daughter.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.\tThe<br \/>\ntotality of the above circumstances lead to the conclusion that there<br \/>\nis a serious threat to the law and order or rule of law at the<br \/>\ninstance of respondent No.6 on account of his influence over the<br \/>\nDistrict constabulary. If married women or unmarried young girls<br \/>\ncannot feel safe in a particular District and if the police<br \/>\ndepartment is so helpless as not to take even necessary legal<br \/>\nmeasures for securing the person and safety of the ordinary citizen,<br \/>\nit amounts to very serious failure on the part of the State.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.\tEven<br \/>\nthe order of this Court to call the DSP of Sabarkantha and assurance<br \/>\nby him, as recorded in the order dated 18.10.2011 have so far proved<br \/>\nto be meaningless.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.\tTherefore,<br \/>\ntaking serious view of the facts of the case and the developments<br \/>\ntaking place during the course of investigation, the Court is<br \/>\ncompelled to request the Home Secretary, Government of Gujarat to<br \/>\nremain personally present before this Court after looking into the<br \/>\nrelevant papers of this case and request learned Government Pleader<br \/>\nto assist the Court in making further orders as may be required in<br \/>\nthe circumstances of the case. In the meantime, since respondent No.6<br \/>\nhas not remained present before this Court even after issuance of<br \/>\nrule and even the notice of rule is not received back till today, the<br \/>\noffice is directed to issue bailable warrant in the sum of<br \/>\nRs.25,000\/- for respondent No.6 for his production before this Court<br \/>\non the next date of hearing which is fixed on 16.11.2011.  S.O. to<br \/>\n16.11.2011.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tLearned<br \/>\nAPP shall be given a copy of this order immediately for necessary<br \/>\naction and communication.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t[D.H.WAGHELA,<br \/>\nJ.]<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t[J.C.UPADHYAYA,<br \/>\nJ.]<\/p>\n<p>mrpandya<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   Top<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gujarat High Court Prajapati vs State on 8 November, 2011 Author: D.H.Waghela, Honourable J.C.Upadhyaya, Gujarat High Court Case Information System Print SCR.A\/2538\/2011 5\/ 5 ORDER IN THE HIGH COURT OF GUJARAT AT AHMEDABAD SPECIAL CRIMINAL APPLICATION No. 2538 of 2011 ========================================================= PRAJAPATI DINESHBHAI MULJIBHAI &#8211;
