Citing instance of a major fire that broke out at the barrack inside Capital Police Station premises in the capital city on May 6 this year in which one police personnel sustained serious burn injuries, the petitioner alleged that the mishap took place due to the utter callousness of the authorities concerned for not making periodical inspection of the wiring and other electrical fittings of the police station.
