New Delhi: The Delhi High Court has directed the city police to furnish records relating to an eight-year-old case of suspected kidnapping of a minor girl who has not been traced till date.
A bench of justices S Ravindra Bhat and Vipin Sanghi sought relevant records of the case file pertaining to the FIR lodged in the matter on a plea of the girl's father who has alleged inaction on the part of police in tracing his daughter.
The then 13-year-old girl had gone missing in September 2006 from Budh Nagar, JJ Colony, Inderpuri, and her father Sohan Singh had initially lodged a missing complaint with the local police station.
Thereafter, he came to know that his daughter was allegedly enticed away by some persons living in that area and so he lodged an FIR under section 363 (kidnapping) of the IPC, the habeas corpus petition filed through advocate SN Parashar said.
In his petition, Singh alleged that despite him providing all the information and addresses of the accused and their associates to police, it "did not make any sincere efforts" to trace his daughter.
"Issue a writ in the nature of habeas corpus or any other writs, orders, directions, whereby directing the respondent (police) to produce the missing daughter of petitioner," the petition has said.
