FIR No. 338/2022
PS Darya Ganj
17.07.2025
Proceedings are being conducted through hybrid mode.
Present: Mr. Manish Bansal, Ld. APP for State.
Accused Rajkumar in person.
The matter is listed for scrutiny of documents /
arguments on the point of charge.
Upon enquiry, the accused submits that he does not have
a counsel. It is noted that the accused has been taking the same plea
since the past two dates. This Court has already apprised the accused
of his right to free legal aid, subject to eligibility, and had advised him
to approach the office of the Ld. Secretary, Delhi State Legal Services
Authority (DLSA), Central District. However, the accused has failed
to take requisite steps in this regard.
Although the Court refrains from passing any adverse
order today, the accused is granted one last opportunity to approach
the office of the Secretary, DLSA, in case he wishes to avail free legal
aid. On the next date of hearing, no such plea shall be entertained, and
the Court shall proceed further in the matter and pass appropriate
orders.
Needless to state, the accused is also at liberty to engage
and avail the services of a counsel of his own choice, if he so desires.
Put up for scrutiny of documents / arguments on the
point of charge on 28.11.2025.
The order be uploaded as per rules.
