Daroga Singh & Ors vs B.K. Pandey on 13 April, 2004

6. The aforesaid is coupled with the image which the city Police has with its citizens. It appears that the citizens have no faith or respect for the police personnel and instead of treating them as an ally or a friend or as someone to turn to in case of need, treat them as a foe and fear them. Though, some efforts are made by the Police through the media to portray a friendly and helpful face of the Police but the same have obviously not yielded any result. The Supreme Court in Daroga Singh Vs. B.K. Pandey (2004) 5 SCC 26 lamented that the Police has not been able to shake off the legacy of suspicion and dislike and change the attitude / trait of hostility with the people, which though was understandable in the British Raj but uncalled for in a democracy. We are again not aware whether the authorities concerned are looking into the said aspect at all.

Re-Ramlila Maidan Incident Dt ... vs Home Secretary And Ors on 23 February, 2012

10. The news clip of the incident shows that before the traffic policeman hurled the brick at the woman, she hurled a brick at the Traffic Policeman‟s motorcycle. A traffic policeman‟s vehicle, we presume, will qualify as "public property". We are pained to see a citizen so behaving. The Supreme Court recently in Ramlila Maidan Incident Vs. Home Secretary, Union of India (2012) 5 SCC 1 observed that even if action of Police was wrong in law, it gave no right to others to commit any offence. In the said judgment, the principle of contributory / vicarious liability was evolved.

Bhim Singh, Mla vs State Of J & K And Ors. on 22 November, 1985

12. Similarly, however disgraceful the behaviour on the part of the citizen was, the same ought not to have elicited a retaliation from the concerned traffic policeman. One who is entrusted with the task of maintaining discipline in the society must first be itself be disciplined. In an evaluation of Indian Police after 50 years of independence, Sh. S.V.M. Tripathi, former Director General of Police has observed that a sensitive police officer can ensure justice and fairplay as no other public servant can. Citizens expect the police as humane and efficient, professional and disciplined. Long back in Bhim Singh, MLA Vs. State of J&K (1985) 4 SCC 677, Supreme Court had observed that police officers as custodians of law and order should not flout the laws by stooping to bizarre acts of lawlessness.
