Police unable to identify Union minister Nihal Chand’s address to deliver summons

The court in its previous hearing on August 20 had asked Ganganagar Superintendent of Police to find Union Minister Meghwal and ensure that the summons is delivered to him, be it in Ganganagar or New Delhi. As Meghwal’s lawyer, AK Jain, appeared in court, he maintained that the summons was not served on him but he had taken suo moto cognizance of the case hearing and appeared on behalf of Meghwal. The SP did not appear for the hearing or send any representative to explain why the summons could not be delivered.

Since all the accused or their representatives could not appear for the hearing on Wednesday, the court was adjourned for next hearing on December 6.

“As responsible citizens we have taken suo moto cognizance of the court hearing and appeared. The summons was not delivered to Meghwal. It is a fabricated case. In February this year, the magistrate court had dismissed the case as false and baseless. It is a revision petition. The alleged victim should have furnished the residential and other identification details of the accused, which she has been unable to do so far,” AK Jain told the Indian Express.

Chandu Ram Yadav, the victim’s lawyer, said, “It is not the victim’s job to locate the accused. The police should do it. These names were mentioned right from the beginning of the case. The police has done nothing in the case so far. How can the victim be expected to look up each of the accused and where they live currently?”
