Query regarding Getting copy of Reports

5 years ago

Hi,
I filed a complaint (GD) against the unwarranted , derogatory and threatening incident .
Police didn't responded and then I wrote letters to senior officials to attend the same and lastly when nothing happened, I put a public Grievance after which the Police Chowki in charge called both parties and matter was resolved taking resolution statement from me (Complainant).
Now I want a copy of this statement/Closure statement ..But inspector said this Cannot be given except with RTI .
This seem to be unjustified as Initially, before going the grievance way, the complaint was lodged as a Police complaint.
Are they correct in saying so.

A.I am not writing how to get the closure report as that part has already been taken care of by the other panel advocates in this forum. In addition to that for your understanding a closure report by police cannot be accepted as gospel truth, as police is not the final authority on people complaints. A closure report is not the end of prosecution. You have a right to file your complaint before a magistrate narrating identical charges. If you can prove the allegations with the help of witnesses and their statements following the laid down procedure, then despite the closure report there can be prosecution. However, you will have a better chance to make out your prosecution against the accused if you could bring out additional evidence, or point out existence of adequate evidence on record against the accused.

A.They may not be absolutely right in saying so but it is a convenient way to request copies under RTI Act.

Hi,
Thanks for your response.
I suppose RTI is for the information which is not publicly available or which is demanded out of way. But as I am the complainant , so it becomes obvious for me to get without any special requests. I suppose I am correct in saying so.
Is there any scope they are even partially right.
