Sir, In an accident case(Under Section 279/304-A IPC) in Delhi the court after considering the plea bargaining scheme and mutual settlement between the accused and victims side, has now finally for probation report from the probation officer. I would like to clear the following doubts/queries as under:-
1. How normally the probation officer makes his report against an accused and what sort of various aspects looks for the same.
2. What kind of enquiries are made by the probation officer from the concerned police station or neighbour etc.for inclusion in his report.
3. Under what circumstances the probation officer send his adverse remarks if any to the court and whether the probation officer can take into consideration of other criminal or civil cases one of his ground for such report.
4. What are the general function and duties of probation officer.
5. Can an accused under above circumstances deny the court for any such unpleasant situation or request to send the file for regular trial till today.
