The Special POCSO Court pulled up the station house officer of Bochaha police station for negligence. The judge ordered authorities to deduct the fine directly from the officer’s salary. The court will deposit the amount in the District Legal Services Authority fund.

The case began in May 2023 when the minor girl’s father filed an FIR. He alleged that some men abducted his daughter and one of them tried to rape her. Despite serious charges, police did not complete the probe within the expected time.

The court also sought an explanation for delays in related action against the accused. Senior officers must now ensure speedy investigation in pending cases.

The attachment order was against a man accused of planning a robbery under the Arms Act. The police received the original information in 1997. During the raid, one man was caught with a rifle, and he named another person, Uma Singh of Kesaria, as his accomplice. After this, the police filed for a warrant, proclamation and confiscation order.

For years, the case did not move. The accused’s correct address and father’s name were also missing in the police file, making it worse.

When the High Court heard the petition, the judge ordered the Sahibganj police station in-charge and the investigating officer to appear on December 12 with the entire record. The court wants them to explain why the warrant and attachment order were ignored for so long.

The SSP must also ensure both officers appear before the High Court.

Sudhir Bhagat was arrested in a major Naxalite case but his charges were never framed. The police did not obtain the mandatory prosecution sanction. Because of this delay, the High Court said the trial might not finish soon and granted him bail. The court clarified that keeping an accused in jail for more than 10 years without framing charges violates basic rights.

Meanwhile, the police acted fast in cases involving seven other Naxalites in the same incident. They received prosecution approvals for all seven. But they ignored Sudhir’s file for a decade. This shocking difference has led to many questions about the system’s seriousness.

The case began 11 years ago when 30–40 armed Naxalites attacked a construction company camp in Mishraulia, Sakra. They set vehicles on fire and fled after shouting slogans. The company had refused to pay levy money, which led to the attack.

The Patna High Court has now ordered the Bihar government to pay ₹7.25 lakh as compensation, including interest, to the rider’s wife. The court confirmed that the police jeep was driven rashly and caused the fatal accident. It also noted that although the victim did not have a valid driving license, the negligence of the police driver was the main reason for the death.

Earlier, the Motor Vehicle Accident Tribunal had decided an amount of ₹6.74 lakh with 6% interest, assuming a monthly wage of ₹3,000. The state challenged this order, but the High Court upheld compensation with stricter deadlines.

If the government delays payment beyond December 31, 2025, the interest rate will increase to 9% from January 1, 2026. A further delay beyond March 31, 2026, will add ₹25,000 more. The court also allowed the government to recover the money from officials responsible for the delay.
