Court summons DGP in missing child case

The Bombay High Court on Tuesday pulled up the Maharashtra DGP for not following its orders pertaining to investigations in the case of a missing child and his absconding father.

The division bench of Justice Bilal Nazki and Justice A R Joshi has summoned DGP SS Virk over his failure in submitting an investigation report in Ulhasnagar resident Preeti Chughs case. Her husband Bunty Chugh had allegedly fled with their four-year-old son Sujal in November 2008.

During the last hearing,the court had directed teh DGP to file a status report on the investigation.

However,the court was annoyed to see that the report submitted was by a Deputy Commissioner of Police when the court had clearly stated in its order on August 4 that it wants a report from the DGP. We are not going tolerate this nonsense, justice Bilal Nazki said. Virk has been asked to be present in court on Wednesday and explain his conduct. The report filed by the DCP was in Marathi.

Who do they think they are? They have no respect for courts. They are taking us for a ride, justice Nazki said.

Priti Chug had moved the HC after her husband Bunty,who is into powerloom business in the city,allegedly absconded with son Sujal on November 14,2008,the day Priti was supposed to have got access of the child following earlier court orders.

Priti fears that he might leave the country with Sujal as he has connections in Dubai and Germany.
