High Court directs review before opening 'Rowdy Sheet' against individuals

The Karnataka High Court directed the State Police Department that a notice cannot be issued to open or continue a 'Rowdy Sheet' against an individual without reviewing the current status of criminal cases. The single-judge bench, presided over by Justice Suraj Govindaraj, suggested developing a comprehensive digital database containing complete information on criminal cases against individuals. This system should integrate data from CCITANS, ICJCS, e-Courts, and other available government data.
