The Karnataka High Court has issued notices to the Chief Secretary, Bangalore City Police Commissioner and senior police officers following a public interest litigation (PIL) seeking action against police officers who failed to act on complaints filed by people belonging to scheduled castes and scheduled tribes (SC and ST).
Community leader and social worker K Narayanaswamy, in his petition, stated that it is necessary and just to conduct an enquiry against the Principal Secretary of Home Affairs, Commissioner of Police and Police Inspectors attached to many police stations in the city as they ‘are deliberately and continuously neglecting their duties’.
In the PIL, Narayanaswamy has listed out a number of instances in which the jurisdictional police officers had failed to act on complaints filed by the members belonging to to scheduled castes and tribes.
When this issue was brought to the notice of the senior officers, they failed to take action against the Inspectors, he contended.
The court directed the respondents to file the status report within four weeks.
