@Querist,

 

Reply Question-wise

 

1.In case of a cognizable offence, a police officer can take any action as he deems fit for just and proper investigation.

 

2.Make sure  if an FIR is registered by anyone against you in that police station. You need not RTI to know the cause of your summon. It's a police officer's duty to make you aware for what you have been called to the police station. If an FIR registered against you, you have every right to know for as why and for what you have been called to the police station.Again you need not to make use of RTI.

 

3.No,you can't unless it's a gross misconduct on the part of the police officer.

 

4.No,in case of cognizable offences, a police officer need not have search-warrant.Let the officer do their work.

 

Hope that suffice.

thanks for ur advice. can the officer claim it a cognizable offence without any written complaint? it has been more than one month now. can I go and ask the officer? or check with him if there has been any complaint against me. will they answer? is there any harm in filing RTI to get these info?

@Querist,

 

I would like to recommend you to ask the police officer the reason of summoning you. If he denies to do so, you can complain to the Superitendent of Police that you are being harassed without any obvious reason explaining the whole matter.

 

I would not recommend to go for RTI since for the following reasons.Before questioning again in this thread,please read all the matter very carefully and try to understand the below given points-

 

1. RTI in this case is of  no use since the subject is not clear that  whether FIR has been registered or not.You cannot file an RTI for a non existent thing and even if you do, that effort is bound to fail.

 

2.Even if FIR has been registered, copy of FIR can be denied at this stage by the PIO of police station by execusing it as the matter is still under investigation and you are also not an informer of the commission of any cognizable offence.

 

I would not go in details of the provisions of law as it would make  difficult for you to digest about the cognizability or non-cognizability of offence and other issues related to administrative/judicial procedure.

 

Therefore, act accordingly.
