1. Currently Bangalore's govt. agencies have issued notification through mobile asking property owners to produce application no., bill so that the officers can inspect them.
2. My understanding is that these agencies can only seek information after establishing violation of law
by obtaining evidence (through their vigilance squads).
3. That would mean there is no basis to seek information from the public because they
suspect some may be engaged in foul play.
4.Is it then correct that checking documents of public without evidence of wrong doing is illegal?
Which provisions of law would this violate?
background:I had been told that the police cannot stop you and check your documents-
only when there is a violation of law can the police seek documents from you and only in connection with that violation.
