Tis Hazari Court Orders Delhi Police to Give FIR to Accused Within 24 Hours

The judge cited Supreme Court precedent despite police labeling the case sensitive.

Overview

  • Judicial Magistrate Gaurav Goyal directed the investigating officer to supply the FIR to Rajeshbhai Khimjibhai Sakriya within 24 hours.
  • The court barred the accused from publishing, circulating, or sharing the FIR without prior judicial permission.
  • Delhi Police opposed disclosure after DCP (North) Raja Banthia marked the FIR sensitive and the SPP invoked a 2024 standing order.
  • The magistrate relied on the Supreme Court’s 2016 Youth Bar Association ruling that affirms an accused person’s right to receive the FIR.
  • Rajesh Sakriya and associate Tehseen Syed remain in judicial custody until October 6 as the probe into the August 20 assault, described by police as a well‑planned operation, continues.
