original records and also initiate departmental action against persons who
were instrumental in ensuring that the original records went missing. This
Court is confident that the original records are not actually missing, but
safely available with someone and probably after this order, attempts may
also be made to destroy the original records. If the State finds that private
parties are also involved in this illegal act, criminal complaint shall be
initiated and they should be brought to books. If such stringent actions are
not taken, the black sheeps will go scot free and this type of illegal
activities will continue and ultimately, it will have a direct impact on the
public interest. This Court, therefore, expects the State to act with alacrity
immediately after the receipt of this order.
(57)In the result, WP.No.10912 of 2020 stands ALLOWED and
WP.Nos.10920 and 11535 of 2020 stand DISMISSED. No costs.
Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
