SKN 60-WP-5755.25.doc the letter dated 3rd March 2025 issued by the In-charge Officer, Pimpalgaon Baswant Police Station, Nashik (Rural), the Sub-Divisional Officer, Niphad Division has handed over the original documents of RTS Appeal No.111/2018 to the concerned Investigating Officer on 12th November 2025. It be noted here that, due to laxity and non-cooperation of the Revenue Authority i.e. Sub-Divisional Officer, Niphad, the investigation of present crime i.e. C.R.No.115/2024 is unreasonably delayed by more than six months. We deprecate the practice adopted by the said Sub-Divisional Officer in that behalf.
