This query is : Resolved
Sir I took some of the documents from police station under right to information act. i filed those documents in the court. but other side lawyer objected before the court for its admission. Judgment passed in my case, but the court has not considered my documents as the contents were not proved of those documents without calling the officer concerned. but other side respondent did not entered into witness box to contradict the same. The following documents are obtained under rti from police station:
1) Police General Diary/Receiption Register.
2) Report of DSP to DLSA.
3) Hand written Complaint copy in a white paper.(Not FIR Copy).
Sir, i heard that Police General Diary is a public Document? and public documents need not be proved by calling officer concerned? is it correct sir? is there any citation of sc without calling officer concerned the documents can be admitted as evidence.
is report of DSP also comes under public document sir?.

GD or other documents you mentioned are not Public Document and the court was very right not to consider the same as the same was not proved by the concerned Police Officials.
Once the same was not exhibited the respondent was not required to controvert the same wither orally or by witness.
