Delhi High Court Directs Police Commissioner to Address Lapses in Filing Motor Accident Reports

The Delhi High Court directed the Commissioner of Police to take appropriate steps to ensure effective implementation of the monitoring mechanism for motor accident cases.

The Court was hearing a PIL alleging that investigating officers were not filing the First Accident Report (FAR), Interim Accident Report (IAR), and Detailed Accident Report (DAR) within time.

The petitioner also raised concerns that copies were not being furnished to the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, insurance companies, victims, or the Delhi State Legal Services Authority, and were not uploaded online.

The Court disposed of the plea, directing prompt corrective action.
