Justice Virender Singh passed this direction while dealing with a bail application filed in an NDPS case wherein the police has opposed the bail application on the ground that three other FIRs are also registered against the bail applicant without verifying the factual position.

The court further directed all the Superintendents of Police to update their record, up to November, 30, 2024 with a further direction to complete this exercise on or before March, 31, 2025.
