JUDGMENT : Vijay Kumar Vyas, J. 1. Investigating Officer Shri Dharmendra, ASP, Bharatpur is present along with case diary. 2. Learned Public Prosecutor with the Investigating Officer submitted that earlier the investigation was carried out by local SHO but on the directions of ADG, Civil Rights, District Superintendent of Police has entrusted the investigation of the present matter to the present Investigating Officer. Since 08.08.2017 he is investigating matter in light of guidelines given by ADG, Civil Rights and in general superintendence of the District Superintendent of Police, Bharatpur. 3. The main grudge of the petitioner was that investigation was not being done in proper manner and impartially. Since the investigation is now being done by a different Investigating Officer, under supervision of District Superintendent of Police and guidelines of ADG, Civil Rights, therefore, the petitioner is directed to submit a representation with regard to his grievance along with all the documents, if any, to the present Investigating Officer within ten days. Investigating Officer is directed to verify the facts in light of the representation, so submitted by the petitioner independently and conduct a fair and proper investigation. 4. Before parting with the present matter, it is worth notice that in the instant matter, when the petitioner/complainant submitted a written report on 19.06.2017 before the Officer-in-Charge of the Police Station, Nadbai (Bharatpur), while registering the FIR No. 367/2017, he in the garb of "Karyavahi Police", recorded the incident in his own way. It appears that in the garb of "Karyavahi Police" the Officer-in-Charge has almost sealed the fate of the investigation. Whatever he has recorded in the "Karyavahi Police" is not supplemental to the factual matrix culled out by the complainant rather a complete new story about the incident has been recorded. It is well settled law that when any information with regard to commitment of a cognizable offence is received by Police, Police has to record ditto the information in prescribed register under Section 154 Cr.P.C. During investigation, statement of the complainant is recorded under Section 161 Cr.P.C. and at that time, the Investigating Officer can make queries about all the incidental factual matrix.
While recording the First Information Report under Section 154 Cr.P.C., Officer-in-Charge of Police Station is not supposed in the garb of 'Karyavahi Police" to doctor, interpolate or induct his own knowledge, information or convictions so as to change the very tone and tenor of the information given. 5. In the instant matter the Officer-in-Charge of the Police Station has over-reached its powers available under Section 154 Cr.P.C. It is a very serious matter as it has long repercussions on the ensuing investigation. 6. Therefore, Director General of Police is directed to inquire into the matter and take stern action against the concerned official. He should also direct all the concerned in the State not to involve in such practice in future. 7. The criminal writ petition is disposed of. Copy of this order be forwarded to the Director General of Police for compliance.
