The Delhi High Court yesterday expressed dissatisfaction over reports filed by the Delhi Police in a case relating to a major fire at a rubber godown in South Delhi in May this year. A bench of Chief Justice Rajendra Menon and Justice V K Rao said the status report and enquiry report filed the Delhi Police Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner of Police (South district) have not given the details of the FIR lodged in the incident and the "proposed accused".

The bench said the reports only point out that statements of several persons were recorded by the police. It said the reports do not indicate whether any FIR was lodged, the sections invoked, offence and details of the accused. "Except for recording statements of certain persons, no details have been given by Delhi Police regarding FIR and the provisions invoked. We are not satisfied," the bench said. When the court was informed that an FIR has been registered in the incident, the bench directed the police to bring on record the details of the FIR nd listed the matter for further hearing on September 28. The court had earlier taken cognisance, on its own, of news reports of the fire in a rubber godown in South Delhi's Malviya Nagar on May 29. The fire started in a truck loaded with inflammable rubber sheets and spread to the godown in the congested locality.
