On April 1, 2025, petitioner Navjot Lehal had submitted a written request to Om Parkash, the SHO-cum-investigating officer, seeking a copy of the daily diary report (DDR) dated November 6, 2024. The DDR recorded the addition of Sections 467, 468 and 471 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) to an existing FIR registered in a 2018 case of criminal breach of trust, cheating and criminal conspiracy.

The chief commissioner concluded that the SHO had wilfully neglected his duty. Consequently, he was found guilty of dereliction of duty, and a penalty of Rs.10,000 was imposed. htc...
