ANKIT LOHIYA ETC vs SHO PS NARELA INDUSTRIAL AREA ETC — 8/2024

Case Summary: 8/2024 Outcome: The application under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. for FIR registration was dismissed. However, the complainant was granted an opportunity to submit pre-summoning evidence at the next hearing (13.08.2026). Key Facts: Workers protesting at Narela Industrial Area on 03.03.2024 alleged police used excessive force (lathi charge), tortured them, kept them in illegal detention for ~10 hours, and made caste-based remarks. Medical examination reports showed nil or simple injuries; the SHO belonged to Schedule Caste category, undermining caste-slur allegations. The court found allegations vague (no specific police personnel named) and insufficient prima facie evidence of cognizable offences.
