The court was hearing a revision plea filed by the Special Commissioner arguing that in every case stemming from the police station (Badarpur) under his authority, instead of the summoning the investigating officer concerned, the court would summon him for addressing the queries.
While dealing with a criminal case under the Delhi Excise Act at the stage of prosecution evidence, the magistrate court had expressed displeasure over the non-appearance of witnesses.
“This results in wastage of precious time of the court and the cases have to be adjourned. Further, in several cases the court has to issue bailable and non-bailable warrants against the witnesses, who have failed to change their conduct before this court and are not appearing despite oral and written warnings,” it had remarked.
