Present : Sh. Ravindra Kumar, Ld. Chief PP for State.
IO/ACP (Retd.) J.S. Mehta is present.
Heard. File perused.
A bare perusal of record would reveal that there are
number of discrepancies/variations in the soft copy of charge-sheet
as would have been uploaded on website of CCTNS vis a vis the
hard copy of charge-sheet filed in the present case, in as much as,
the names of Presiding Officer of the Court, as mentioned in soft
copy and hard copy of charge-sheet, are totally different; the
complete details including name, parentage and address of
complainant are found mentioned in Column no. 9 of hard copy of
charge-sheet, whereas, only the name and parentage of
complainant are found mentioned in Column no. 9 of soft copy of
the charge-sheet; the details of case property as mentioned in
Column no. 10 of soft copy of charge-sheet, are found missing in
Column no. 10 of hard copy of the charge-sheet; the relevant sub-
columns of Column no. 11 of hard copy of charge-sheet, do not
match with the sub-columns of Column no. 11 of the soft copy
thereof, apart from the fact that it is mentioned in sub-column no.
(ix) of soft copy of charge-sheet relating to occupation of accused
as “
NOT KNOWN”, whereas same is shown to be “
Dismissed
from Delhi Police” in the hard copy of charge-sheet; the status of
accused being sent to trial, as arrested or without arrest, is not at all
mentioned in relevant sub-column of “
Date of Arrest” in Column
no. 11 in soft copy of the charge-sheet; the Column no. 12, which

is meant for particulars of accused persons not charge-sheeted
(suspect) is found totally missing in hard copy of the charge-sheet,
etc. Moreover, the soft copy of charge-sheet is not shown to be
digitally signed by concerned DCP, whereas it ought to have been
so digitally signed, as has been singed by concerned DCP while
forwarding hard copy thereof.
On query being raised to the IO, he has submitted that
the aforesaid discrepancies/variations occurred due to some
technical mistakes. He has also filed his written reply in this
regard. However, the said explanation is not found justifiable at all
as the aforesaid discrepancies/variations, noted herein above, could
not be the result of technical mistakes.
Before passing appropriate directions in that regard, it
would be appropriate to call for the relevant details/information
from DCP, North-East.
Accordingly, let status report be called from DCP,
North-East on the following points : -
(i) The date, month and year on which the system
of CCTNS was introduced in Delhi Police for
uploading soft copy of charge-sheet on the
portal;
(ii) Whether any Standard Operating Procedure
(SOP)/Guidelines have been issued, thereby
prescribing the procedure to be followed in
respect of uploading of soft copy of charge-
sheet on the said portal and if so, then to annex
copy thereof with the report;

by IO/ACP J.S. Mehta on 11.07.2025 and is

(iv) Whether the soft copy of charge-sheet is
required to be digitally signed by the
Forwarding Authority, which was officer of the

in this case;
(v) Whether the contents of soft copy of charge-
sheet which is required to be uploaded on the
said portal, should exactly match with the
contents of hard copy of said charge-sheet, or
not, keeping in view the fact that it is the
scanned copy of charge-sheet, which is required
to be uploaded on the portal;

get the enquiry conducted into the matter
through responsible Police Officer not below
