The Story in Brief
A special MCOCA court in Mumbai issued show-cause notices to an Assistant Commissioner of Police and the investigating officer after Anmol Bishnoi was not produced through video conference. His physical production from Tihar Jail was not possible. The notices followed a plea by Shehzeen, wife of NCP leader Baba Siddique, over alleged disobedience of court directions.
The court found the officer’s explanation unsatisfactory. It noted that the Government of India had barred Bishnoi’s removal on 5 December 2025. Although the Crime Branch secured a production warrant, a Delhi special NIA court rejected physical production. The Mumbai court asked why video conferencing or other lawful options were not attempted.
The Indian Opinion
The court’s notice underlines that agencies must follow judicial directions and consider lawful alternatives. At the same time, the available account does not prove deliberate disobedience. The Crime Branch had obtained a warrant, while Delhi’s court refused physical production. Claims of intentional defiance would therefore be premature until the officers’ full efforts and the refusal’s reasons are examined.
