Imphal, March 04 2016 :
Retired Director of Prosecution Ng Tejkumar
has urged the Government to appoint a regular Director of Pros-
ecution at the earliest.
Speaking to reporters, Ng Tejkumar said that
after he retired from the post on March 1, the Government has ap-
pointed a senior officer of the Law Department as the in-charge of
Director of Prosecution.
He said that the Director of Prosecution is
a significant post which handles many important legal related is-
sues.
As per the legal processors, police stations can't directly
submit the charge sheets to the Court.
It needs prior screening/scru-
tiny of the Director of Prosecution, Ng Tejkumar said.
As such,
the Director of Prosecution must have thorough knowledge of
prosecution and investigation, he said.
He urged the Government to appoint a regular Director of
Prosecution to enable proper functioning of the mandatory
legal processors.
In case the Government is not in a position
to appoint a regular Director of Prosecution, the post can be
kept under the State Home Department under Section 25 A (3)
by taking a Cabinet decision, Ng Tejkumar said.
