CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KULDEEP TIWARI

Present:

Mr. Lavish Arora, Advocate for the petitioner.

*** KULDEEP TIWARI, J. (ORAL) 1.

On the previous date of hearing, i.e. 02.12.2025, this Court passed the following order:- "The petitioner, by way of instant writ petition, as cast under Article 226/227 of the Constitution of India, has assailed the order dated 06.03.2024 (Annexure P-8), vide which, her appeal has been illegally disposed of/closed. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the requisite information was not supplied to the petitioner, but the authorities concerned have arbitrarily closed/disposed of the appeal.

In deference to the order dated 10.09.2025, passed by this Court, a short reply by way of affidavit of Superintendent of Police, Crime Zone, Jalandhar, on behalf of respondents No.1 and 2, has been filed, which is taken on record. It is categorically set out in the reply (supra), that the sought for information does not impede investigation, as the complaint UID No.2396485 does not form part of any case diary. The petitioner has sought statements of both the parties and the conclusion report of the complaint (supra), which are also not a part of any case diary with respect to FIR No.1 dated 01.01.2024, DEVINDER YADAV 2025.12.22 09:43 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this order/judgment

CWP-11759-2024 registered under Section 498-A IPC, at Police Station NRI Sangrur. Further, the conclusion report dated 22.03.2023, and the signed statements recorded during preliminary enquiry, which form part of conclusion report, can be provided to the petitioner, if she files a fresh application to the Public Information Officer. This Court does not find any strength in the stand set out by the respondents that the information can be supplied, but only upon moving a fresh application under the RTI Act. Accordingly, a Mandamus is passed upon the authorities concerned to bring the information sought by the petitioner before this Court on the next date of hearing, so that the same can be furnished to the petitioner, to give a quietus to the matter.

Adjourned to 19.12.2025.

To be shown in the urgent list.

It is made clear that, on the subsequent date of hearing, no request for adjournment would be entertained on behalf of either side."
