Register case for impounded taxis

Justice Srivastava added: quot;In my considered view, the stand taken by the respondents can not be said to be appropriate and correct in the eyes of the law. Section 154 CrPC specifically provides for the registration of the FIR where commission of cognizable offence has been shown to be committed by the culprits. The petitioner had approached the chief minister of the state for the redressal of his grievance in this regard, but nothing was donequot;.

Justice Srivastava directed that the FIR quot;would be investigated by an officer of Deputy Superintendent of Police8217;s rankquot;. Justice Srivastava also directed the Additional Director General of Police Crime to depute quot;a suitable officer of the said rank to investigate the matter. These directions regarding the registration of the case be carried out by the SHO within 10 days from the date of receipt of this order.quot; Earlier, Bahadur Singh in his petition through counsel Ranjan Lakhanpal, had sought the handing over of the two vehicles quot;impounded by the Mohali Superintendent of Policequot;.
