Demanding a police office for an identification card

Ajay Singh (Querist) 13 November 2011 This query is : Resolved
Hello Folks,

I did see another post on the same topic however did not get any supporting documentation on this.

I was charged with misbehaving with police office (and threatened that my vehicle would be seized) for just asking a constable for his Id card. I was forced to the police station and his superior the station SI's claim was i was not an IPS office to have the rights to ask him this, nor was he liable to show the same as he was in uniform. I was very disturbed by his behavior and would like to know what the legal stand on this is.

Appreciate your response

Ajay

There should not be any command while asking the same. When you found indulging in crime they never chosen to do so . They have the duty and ten guidelines.

You were absolutely right when you demanded to see the Identity Card specially when the police was in civil dress or you have reason enough to hold that the person may not a police personnel.

Asking a public official to show his credential is not an offence.
So stick to your ground. The police can do nothing.

Eventhough,Mr.Barman is legally right,I feel,it is not safe so in our country,considering the Indian realties.

In short,it will depend on the "decency"(which is a rare character among our police personnel) of the concerned police personnel too.
