The Supreme court today directed that police officers failing to register FIRs shall be personally liable for contempt and disciplinary action would be taken against them.A two judge bench headed by Justice B N Agrawal today issued interim directions in this regard when all the states except two failed to respond to Supreme Court’s notice.
The apex court had on July 14th had asked all the states to give their views if the police officers can be made personally liable if the either fail to register FIR against the accused or after registering the FIR they fail to take any action.
The court was perturbed as none of the states except U P and Arunachal Pradesh has filed their responses in the matter. The court has not directed chief secretaries of all the states and union territories to see that the police officers in every police station shall registers FIRs and if they fail to do so the concerned authority shall take immediate action against the police officer.
