Paramvir Singh Saini vs Baljit Singh on 2 December, 2020

4.3. With regard to the CCTV footage, it is submitted that the same could not be secured as the storage capacity of the CCTV system installed in the police station was limited to one month. By the time the interim direction was issued by this Court, the footage had already been automatically overwritten. He further submits that the decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Paramvir Singh Saini v. Baljit Singh (AIR 2021 SC 64), which mandates installation and preservation of CCTV footage in police stations for a longer period, was rendered subsequently, and at the relevant point of time the system did not maintain data for six months.

In view of the above circumstances, it is submitted that there is no material on record to establish any illegal act on the part of the respondent police authorities and hence the petition is liable to be dismissed.
