Noida: Advocate of the city, Ranjan Tomar, on seeking information about the continuous imposition of Section 144 CrPC in the district. He asked how many times the section was used in the district from January 1, 2020, until the RTI answers were sought, and for how many days this section remained in force.
In response to this, the Public Information Officer of Noida Police says that replying to this information can encourage the nature of the crime. Therefore, this information cannot be given. Apart from this, Noida Police has also resorted to Section 81(a) of RTI for this, which is like making a mockery of the law, and Section 81 has been used in the wrong way.
It is necessary for social workers, farmers, and common Indians to know when Section 144 has been used. So that its excessive use can be reduced and citizens can remain free to exercise democratic rights. If necessary, picket demonstrations can also be held, and common citizens can also fight for their rights.
Talking to reporters, Ranjan Tomar said, “When Noida is such a peaceful city, There are many qualified officers present in it; it is not necessary to use the section again and again. This weakens democracy. Ranjan Tomar filed the first appeal.”
Even in the first hearing, the Public Information Officer did not reach out. The next hearing is to be held in the middle of the month.
