Bhubaneswar: From now onwards the police officers can write a charge sheet in Odia language, informed Odisha Director General of Police (DGP) Abhay through an official notification. Reportedly, the Odia language will be accepted in Orissa High Court.
Prioritizing an error free charge sheet report instead of writing incorrect English it has been allowed to write those in Odia language.
Following an incorrect report written in inconvenient language to the officials, the criminals succeed to escape during the trial.
The police DG has directed the Additional Director General (ADG) of the State Crime Records Bureau (SCRB) to take action in case the chargesheet is filed through the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network & Systems (CCTNS).
While preparing the witnesses’ statements, records, statements taken during the collection of evidence, and the post-mortem report in the English language, the police officers can do the same in Odia language also.
