Delhi High Court: For poor, registration of FIR unthinkable

New Delhi, Jan 24 It is "unimaginable for poor people".

This is the means by which an irritated Delhi High Court seat named the non-enrollment of a FIR in a case of a missing woman.

A bench of Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice C Hari Shankar communicated anguish when it found that no FIR was held up by the police despite a lady's grumbling that her daughter has been missing from her in-laws' home since June 2016.

The bench observed the letter kept in touch with it by the lady clarifying the experience endured by her girl before she disappeared after she was hassled by her in-laws.

In her letter, the lady has also alleged that her little girl was whipped for bringing less dowry.

Moved by the contents of the letter, the seat communicated despondency over the absence of activity by Delhi Police and said "it uncovers a miserable situation that even after a dissension was recorded in such manner, the police has neglected to hold up a case".

It, from that point, looked for the reaction of senior cops on the lady's objection.

The seat additionally solicited the DCP from the region, where the lady had stopped a dissension, to put before it the move made in such manner.

It directed the police to guarantee that the missing lady and her better half are available under the watchful eye of the court on the following date of hearing on January 29.
