The court in its order rapped the local police for not counselling the victim after the incident was reported to them.
The judge said failure to counsel the victim at police station level shows the "negative attitude" of the SP towards crimes against women.
Chaudhary in his order directed the Director General of Police and the Additional Chief Secretary of the Home Department to take strict action against the then SP for negligence.
