My cases are in dead-lock situation as Court is looking for physical presence of Police and Police i


09-Jul-2026 (In Divorce Law)
My exparte divorce case and property ownership case both are on evidence stage as my spouse ran away with someone and all the legal actions have been done starting from lidging police report, sending notices, newspaper publication, expartee order announcement by the court etc. But stuck at Evidence level. The relevant police report was duly submitted as evidence in my property dispute case, but the Police officer left the court premises before the matter was heard by the Judge. To utilize this certified report in my concurrent divorce proceedings, the current presiding Judge of property case has mandated the officer's presence. Hence both of the cases are on on dead-lock. Any suggestion will be highly appreaciated for a frustrated petitioner like me to get rid of this deadlock situation like "chakrabuha" of Police and Court.

If your case is stuck because the court is insisting on the physical presence of a police officer, the next step depends on why the officer's presence is required. Common reasons include: The court wants the Investigating Officer (IO) to produce the case diary or records. The court requires the officer to verify service, execute a warrant, or comply with an earlier direction. The officer is required to give evidence or clarify facts. If the police are repeatedly not appearing, your lawyer can request the court to: Record that the police have failed to comply with previous directions. Issue a fresh summons or a bailable/non-bailable warrant against the concerned officer, if legally appropriate. Direct the senior police officer (such as the DCP/SP) to ensure the officer's presence. Grant other appropriate directions to avoid unnecessary delay.

You may file an application to summon the police officer again, or seek permission to prove the certified police record through the concerned department/record keeper. If delay persists, approach the High Court for appropriate directions.
