VISHNU DAYAL SHARMA Vs. STATE OF U P

JUDGEMENT

(1.) WE have heard Sri Tejpal for the petitioner, the learned AGA for the State and have perused the petition. This is another case where a father, a retired postal employee has been knocking at the door of this Court unhappy with the inaction of the police in taking any steps to locate his son aged 17 years, missing since 22-2-2005. He is seeking a relief which in normal course should have been unhesitatingly given to him by the local police. He has been approaching the police and other authorities repeatedly since 24-2-2005.

(2.) WE, therefore, direct the SSP Agra to take immediate steps for location of the missing boy, whether he has gone away himself or has been abducted, in which case it must register a criminal case and take strict action against the offenders. The S. H. O. Police Station Achnera, District Agra shall submit a report to this Court about the measures taken for recovering the missing/abducted boy within 3 weeks.

(3.) LIST this case for further orders on 6-2-2007. Copy of the order may be furnished to learned AGA within 48 hours for appropriate action.
