Can I take legal action against police for assault?
A police officer assaulted me for reading his name on his uniform. This happened a few years ago, and now I’ve forgotten his name. However, I remember the year, police station, and his designation. Is it possible to get a list of officers who worked at that station in that particular year through a court order, so that I can identify him? I intend to file an assault case afterward.
Yes, you can legally get the list of officers posted at a police station in a specific year, usually through a court order. First, file a complaint with the SP or SHRC. If ignored, approach a Magistrate to direct police to provide officer records. You can also file an RTI, though it may be denied. Legal action is possible once the officer is identified.
