The Madras high court on Wednesday censured an inspector for failing to comply with the court order in connection with the missing of 56 case bundles from small causes courts located on the high court campus.
The incident was allegedly an outcome of a rivalry between advocates. Justice P N Prakash on July 19 transferred the probe to the CB-CID.
He then directed the investigating officer, M Selvaraj, an inspector attached to the high court police station, to hand over the case diary to the CBCID in two weeks.
When the plea was taken up for hearing recently, the court was informed that Selvaraj was yet to hand over the diary. Taking exception, the judge directed him to appear before the court.
On Wednesday, Selvaraj informed the court that the diary was handed over on October 5. Recording the submission, the judge expressed shock over the missing case bundles, a serious crime.
The judge asked whether case bundles could be stolen from a court due to possible rivalry between advocates. “It is a dangerous trend which needs to be put to an end as quickly as possible,” the court said.
