Thereafter the Petitioner has sent another complaint to the IIC on 31st October, 2025, copy of which he has e-mailed to the S.P., Jagatsinghpur on 13th January, 2026.
4. The grievance of the Petitioner is that although FIR has been registered against him on the basis of an FIR dated 9th January, 2026 of M.M. Mandi, Commandant (JG), Regulating Officer for Commander (Odisha) against the Petitioner-Rajendra Prasad, Paradeep P.S. Case No. 4 of 2026 for commission of offences punishable under Sections 66 (D) and 66 (E) of the I.T. Act, Section 166, 167 and 352 of the BNS but no case was registered on the FIR of the Petitioner, but no case was registered by the IIC, Paradeep Police Station, on the basis of his complaints.
5. Mr. R.K. Sarangi, learned counsel for the Petitioner submits that the Petitioner had submitted complaints to his higher authorities regarding unauthorized use of an official vehicle by DIG, Sanjay Negi which is under enquiry in the Coast Guard Headquarters, National Stadium Complex, New Delhi in respect of which he has filed documents vide Annexure-5 series.
6. Pursuant to order dated 30.06.2026, the instructions dated
09.07.2026 of the IIC, Paradeep Model P.S. are produced by Mr. S.K. Rout, learned Additional Standing Counsel, where it has been stated that General Diary No. 16 dated 31.10.2025 and General Diary No.07 dated 08.11.2025 have been confirmed. It has also been stated that as the Petitioner took unauthorized photographs of Officers, security posts and movement of office vehicles including official transport vehicle of school children, carrying female children of officers and EPs of this headquarters, Commandant Coast Guard reported in writing and basing on his report, Paradeep Model P.S. No. 04 dated 09.01.2026 under Sections 166/ 167/ 352 of BNS read with Sections 66 (D) and 66 (E) of the I.T. Act has been registered and after completion of investigation, Charge sheet No. 39 dated 28.02.2026 under Sections 166/ 167/ 352 of BNS read with Sections 66 (D) and 66 (E) of the I.T. Act has been submitted against him. No case has been registered basing on the written allegation of the Petitioner Rajendra Prasad.
7. Since General Diary entries have been made on 31.10.2025 and 08.11.2025 in the Police Station on the basis of the complaints of the Petitioner, it is expected that the enquiry must have been conducted after the General Diary entries have been puspa made. It also appears that the Petitioner has submitted a complaint on 08.04.2026 before the S.P., Jagatsinghpur. However, there is no document indicating receipt of the same in the Office of the S.P.
8. As there is no document or endorsement to show that the petition addressed to the S.P., Jagatsinghpur has been served on him, it is open to the Petitioner to submit a fresh representation before the S.P., Jagatsinghpur afresh by Speed Post or e-mail. It is expected that an enquiry as permissible under law will be conducted by the S.P., Jagatsinghpur and action in accordance with law shall be taken.
9. With the aforesaid observations, the CRLMP is accordingly disposed of.
10. Urgent certified copy of this order be granted on proper application.
