Police Witness Statement Form

More than 15 years back, I was appearing in a CBI case on behalf of an accused person in a Special Court in Mumbai. The examination-in-chief of the accused is required to be conducted by the Special Public Prosecutor in this court. As per law, no leading questions (except trivial questions such as name, address, etc.) can be asked in the examination-in-chief. However, what I noticed in that case was that the judge was having a copy of the police (CBI) statement (recorded during investigation) of the witness before him. The judge was directly asking questions from the witness on the basis of the police statement; then, depending on the reply of the witness, he was dictating the witness statement to his stenographer, and sometimes efforts were willingly or unwillingly made to make such dictated answers to be in conformity with the police statement. What the law requires is that the witness should depose in the court independent of what he stated before police. In fact, under law, his police statement is not signed by him to ensure this.I objected to this procedure being followed by the judge. He said that this is the usual procedure being used in the court and no lawyer objects to it. However, I persisted and politely informed him that what he was doing was a 4-in-1 job. He was judge, prosecutor, police (to some extent) and the witness. I informed him that it is the job of the public prosecutor to ask questions from the witness and not the judge’s job, and also that he should perform his job only of the judge. The judge replied that he was trying to save time. Though he did not like my saying, yet I told him that instead of doing all this, he can directly read the police statements and pass the judgment directly since the trial would in any case be a farce in such situation. My objection was that I can fight with the prosecutor but it would be difficult for me to continuously fight with the judge if he starts performing the role of prosecutor and starts filling in gaps in the investigation by directly reading from the police statement and asking the questions (including leading questions) from the witness, and then on the basis of the answer given dictating them by moulding them (as far as possible) on the lines of the police statement.We had heated arguments for some 20-30 minutes. Initially, he bluntly asked me to challenge the procedure before the high court, if I wanted. However, I kept arguing and explained the requirements of the law, especially relating to the independence of various wings of the criminal justice system (will come back to this topic in a while).Ultimately, the judge agreed and asked the prosecutor to examine the witness. I had done that unpleasant thing at the risk of seriously antagonizing the judge. Over the course of next 2-3 days, I had to make some extra genuine efforts to ensure that he does not become prejudiced against the accused whom I was representing. But, as I later found, that judge was an excellent judge and an excellent person. He used to follow the wrong procedure under misconceived notion that he was saving time by combining roles and also perhaps because he knew that the public prosecutor (as usual, generally) was not professionally competent. Ultimately, in that case, I got acquittal for client. Not only in that case, even in other cases in which I appeared in his court, I got acquittal in favour of the persons I was representing. That judge subsequently became a judge in the Bombay High Court. And, after his retirement from Bombay High Court, he became a judge (judicial member) in a national level tribunal.The purpose of writing this personal experience is to highlight how necessary it is, under our laws, to ensure that police, judiciary, prosecution are independent of one-another. It is a must if we want to ensure real justice in a given case. Let me now explain in brief about the criminal justice system.Criminal justice system in India involves the following institutions:(1) Legislation or law making by Parliament or State Legislature.(2) Police for law enforcement (for crime related laws).(3) Prosecution for conducting trial of cases in courts.(4) Courts for deciding criminal cases.(5) Correction and rehabilitation services, such as jails, rehabilitation centres, etc.All these wings are supposed to be independent of one another; especially police, prosecution and judiciary are supposed to be independent of one another.After 1973, executive magistracy and judicial magistracy were separated from each other. Now, District Magistrate may have some (though not much) control over certain activities of police, but he has no connection with the judicial magistrates. Therefore, whatever little direct or indirect connection that previously existed between police and judiciary (through the District Magistrate), has ceased to exist now.Previously, the prosecutors in the lower (Magistrate) courts were controlled by police department. Now, prosecutors are supposed to be completely independent of the police department.The reason for these different wings of criminal justice system being independent of one-another is to ensure justice and fair play. Otherwise, suppose police and prosecutor work under the same authority then there is a likelihood of them working in tandem to ensure conviction of accused persons involved in various crimes.Likewise, if police starts working directly under the judiciary, then judges are likely to be more sympathetic to the investigation conducted by the police and are not likely to be impartial to the accused persons. A biased mind cannot be independent.It is noteworthy that police derives its powers of investigation mainly under the Criminal Procedure Code (Cr.P.C.). The power to investigate is an independent statutory power of police. Even the courts cannot interfere in the exercise of these powers. The Supreme Court has repeatedly held that courts cannot give specific directions to police to conduct investigation in this way or that way.Of course, it is true that recently, in some high profile cases, the Supreme Court has monitored the investigation (and in some rare cases, the high courts also). They have done so in exercise of the superior powers vested in such courts under the highest law of the land, namely, the Constitution of India and not under the Cr.P.C. But, even in these cases, monitoring by Supreme Court generally does not mean giving specific direction to investigate in one way or another. Such monitoring is in the form of seeking periodic reports of investigation (to let police know that court is watching their investigation), keeping political executive out of such cases’ investigation, etc.But, as far as lower courts are concerned (i.e., District Courts and Magistrate courts), they do not have even such limited powers of monitoring the investigation.It is of utmost necessity that investigation is done by one agency, the prosecution is conducted by another agency, and the job of judging the case and its evidence is done by yet another agency, namely, the judiciary.If you combine one role with another, or bring one agency under the direct control of another agency, then it is the justice that is compromised.Of course, in a way the actual actions of the police by way of investigation are ultimately scrutinized by the judiciary, at the time of arrest, custody, trial, recording of evidence, etc. But, there is no direct control of judiciary over police. And, there should not be any such control. As I mentioned above, the Supreme Court has repeatedly held that police has its independent statutory powers of conducting investigation in criminal offences.Lastly, let me also point out that though police department works under the executive (including the political executive), in so far as investigation is concerned even the executive cannot have any control over police, under the provisions of law, such as Cr.P.C. Such executive may only have administrative control over police officers, but not operational control over the investigation. It is a different matter that in some cases, politicians still manage to control investigation (such as against their opponents or other influential persons) in one way or another through some pliant police officers. But, law is clear: police has independent statutory powers of investigation.

User-9433279705333909067 already mentioned Selenium, so I will list another library I have personally used extensively in Java: HtmlUnit. Basically it is a web browser that you control with your code. You can tell it to load up a web page, and then you have access to all the underlying HTML code, so it is useful to have an understanding of HTML objects and attributes.Once you load up a webpage with a form, you can fill values in to the text boxes just like a normal user would, and then call the click() function on the submit button, just like a user would. Is the form only accessible after you log in? No problem, just load up the login page first and enter your username and password at the start of your program, and the program will log in and then be able to access the form.HtmlUnit and Selenium are very useful when it comes to automating web activities or gathering data from websites. Another useful example is making a program that will gather a list of search results into an array, and either print the URLs to a text file or do something else with them in the code. Yet another might be to refresh the page of a currency conversion calculator every minute and record the current exchange rate. A program that I made in college when I was broke would go online and fill out the customer satisfaction survey at a local fast food restaurant and get the code generated at the end so I could get a free sandwich from the restaurant. It would take almost 10 minutes to fill out the survey even if you filled the answers in as fast as you could, but the program I wrote could finish the survey in under a minute.Learning HtmlUnit is how I first started making programs that would access the internet, and I recommend it to anybody who wants to further expand their programming knowledge and skills.

If you don't want to take your time and money to go to the police station to make a formal report, don’t do it. There will be a call card in their system that someone reported the incident. If they don't care enough to take a phone report or to send an officer to you, then you are not obligated to go to them. If you didn't see the person who did it, it is not likely to make much difference in finding them. The person who is the victim will still be claiming on their insurance or paying for repairs out of pocket.

NOOOOOOO. You are talking to a military romance scammer. I received an email from the US Army that directly answers your question that is pasted below please keep reading.I believe you are the victim of a military Romance Scam whereas the person you are talking to is a foreign national posing as an American Soldier claiming to be stationed overseas on a peacekeeping mission. That's the key to the scam they always claim to be on a peacekeeping mission.Part of their scam is saying that they have no access to their money that their mission is highly dangerous.If your boyfriend girlfriend/future husband/wife is asking you to do the following or has exhibited this behavior, it is a most likely a scam:Moves to private messaging site immediately after meeting you on Facebook or SnapChat or Instagram or some dating or social media site. Often times they delete the site you met them on right after they asked you to move to a more private messaging siteProfesses love to you very quickly & seems to quote poems and song lyrics along with using their own sort of broken language, as they profess their love and devotion quickly. They also showed concern for your health and love for your family.Promises marriage as soon as he/she gets to state for leave that they asked you to pay for.They Requests money (wire transfers) and Amazon, iTune ,Verizon, etc gift cards, for medicine, religious practices, and leaves to come home, internet access, complete job assignments, help sick friend, get him out of trouble, or anything that sounds fishy.The military does provide all the soldier needs including food medical Care and transportation for leave. Trust me, I lived it, you are probably being scammed.

Hope this helps:Post by Karan Jain on PostsFollow these steps: Step 1 Determine the focus of your statement of purposeThe goal of the statement of purpose is to persuade the admissions committee to choose you for their program. Whatever focus you choose, it must be clear and supported by examples throughout the entire essay. As you start to construct your personal statement, answer the questions below in a paragraph or two. These will help you decide what to focus on in your statement.1. Why do you want to attend graduate school? (knowledge, money, prestige, etc.)2. What research experiences have you had if any? (both formal and informal)3. What are some topics that you think you might want to research?4. What’s special, unique, distinctive, and/or impressive about you or your life story? What details of your life (personal or family problems, history, people or events that have shaped you or influenced your goals) might help the admissions committee better understand you or help set you apart from other applicants?5. What are your career goals?6. What is your ideal vision of the future?7. When did you become interested in this field and what have you learned about it (and about yourself) that has further stimulated your interest and reinforced your conviction that you are well suited to this field? What insights have you gained?8. How have you learned about this field – through classes, readings, seminars, work or other experiences, or conversations with people already in the field?9. Are there any gaps or discrepancies in your academic record that you should explain (great grades but mediocre GRE scores, for example, or a distinct upward pattern to your GPA if it was only average in the beginning)?10. What skills (for example leadership, communicative, analytical) do you possess?11. If you have worked a lot during your college years, what have you learned (leadership or managerial skills, for example), and how has that work contributed to your growth?Step 2 Determine the contents of your statement Prepare an outline by selecting the main topics you want to cover and list supporting statements under each topic. Remember, that while information on your past work is important, it is most relevant to point out its connection to your interest in this particular field of study. The admission committee is primarily concerned with your current and future interests and aspirations.Step 3 Organize your statementOpening paragraph – Introduce yourself and give your general reasons for pursuing graduate study. Grab their attention be stating particular talents that make you an individual they should consider. Body – Build your foundation for your forthcoming work Explain why you chose this field. Explain your expertise and accomplishments in your filed, including research (mention the project name and professor that you worked with) Talk about your undergraduate studies in general and how they relate to what you want to do in graduate school (do not list specifics that are contained in transcripts). Describe other relevant experiences (volunteer, organizations, jobs, etc.) and be sure to include names and other important details. Explain why these various experiences demonstrate your motivation and inspiration for continued study. Briefly explain any discrepancies on your transcript. No details are necessary. Mention specific faculty you are interested in working with (make sure they are still at that university).Background – Tell them about yourself. Describe your family and community (or a community in which you once lived). Did someone influence you to pursue higher education or a particular career goal? Give examples of personal attributes or qualities you know will help you successfully complete graduate school. For example, describe your determination, initiative, creativity, capacity to solve problems, ability to develop ideas and work with people, etc. Be sure to back these up with facts. Closing paragraph – Finally, leave the reader with a strong sense that you are qualified and will be successful in graduate school. Briefly summarize highlights and close strong.Step 4 Write, read, rewrite... After writing you first draft, set it aside. In the meantime read as many sample statements as you can, while paying attention to how good statements differ from bad ones. After a day or so, reread your draft. If it still sounds good, make basic changes and additions according to what you have learned from the sample statements and go to the next step. If not, rewrite it.Step 5 Distribute, analyze, rewrite... Put your draft away for a day or two, and then reread it again. Make changes, and then proofread (yes, again). Now it's time to send or give your statement to us. The more people who read your statement, the more comments and ideas you will receive. The more drafts you do, the more refined your statement will be. The time and energy that you put into this activity should result in a personal statement that can be used, with minor modifications, for each university and/or scholarship to which you apply.

I was selected for a summer internship 2016.I tried to be very open while filling the preference form: I choose many products as my favorite products and I said I'm open about the team I want to join.I even was very open in the  location and start date to get host matching interviews (I negotiated the start date in the interview until both me and my host were happy.) You could ask your recruiter to review your form (there are very cool and could help you a lot since they have a bigger experience).Do a search on the potential team.Before the interviews,  try to find smart question that you are going to ask for the potential host (do a search on the team  to find nice and deep questions to impress your host). Prepare well your resume.You are very likely not going to get algorithm/data structure questions like in the first round. It's going to be just some friendly chat if you are lucky. If your potential team is working on something like machine learning, expect that  they are going to ask you questions about machine learning, courses related to machine learning you have and relevant experience (projects, internship). Of course you have to study that before the interview. Take as long time as you need if you feel rusty. It takes some time to get ready for the host matching (it's less than the technical interview)  but it's worth it of course.

There must be provision in the form for those who are taking 12 th board exam this year , so go through the form properly before filling it .
