A key file in an extortion case has gone missing from Nashik Subordinate Court No. 2, sparking allegations of collusion between court staff and the accused. Despite summon, the accused remain absent. Sprouts News Investigation Team (SIT) reveals rising concerns over judicial negligence and demands for a formal inquiry.
In a stunning development that raises serious concerns about judicial transparency, a critical file related to an extortion case has reportedly gone missing from Nashik Subordinate Court No. 2. The file was expected to be presented during a scheduled hearing on July 23, 2025, but court staff informed the complainant and their lawyer that the document could not be located.
The case, being monitored closely by legal observers, has now taken a controversial turn. Allegations are flying that the file may have been deliberately suppressed in collusion with the accused, after repeated summons were ignored without consequence.

Judicial System Under Scrutiny After File Disappearance
According to the complainant, efforts to trace the case file have been ongoing for nearly a month. Repeated requests for a certified copy were either delayed or ignored by the court registry. This has led to strong suspicion that court officials and the accused may be acting in coordination to derail proceedings.
Sprouts News Investigation Team (SIT) has learned that despite private legal representation, the presiding judge of Subordinate Court No. 2 insisted on arguments from the government prosecutor. Legal experts argue that this unusual interference raises red flags about procedural fairness.
In the court premises, whispers of “internal sabotage” are growing louder. There is widespread discussion that judicial staff may have deliberately misplaced or hidden the file, allowing the accused to evade appearance and delay justice.
Was the File Lost or Intentionally Hidden?
The core of the controversy now lies in a simple but critical question: Was the file misplaced due to administrative negligence, or was it intentionally removed from the system to protect the accused? The complainant has formally demanded a departmental inquiry, stating that the file’s disappearance has compromised their right to justice.
Despite submitting multiple requests over the past month, the complainant has still not received a duplicate copy or any official update about the file’s status. “This isn’t just negligence—it looks like systematic obstruction of justice,” said the complainant’s advocate.
As the Sprouts News Investigation Team (SIT) continues to probe deeper, sources within the court suggest a growing consensus that internal actors may be shielding the accused. The failure to act on repeated non-appearances by the accused only strengthens this suspicion.

Public Trust in Judiciary at Stake
This episode has sparked heated discussion within Nashik’s legal fraternity and raised urgent questions about the functioning of the subordinate judiciary. Observers warn that such incidents—if left unchecked—could deeply erode public trust in the justice system.
“Who is backing the extortionists?” is a question echoing across Nashik’s court corridors. Legal experts say the matter demands immediate investigation by higher judicial authorities and possible suspension of negligent staff, pending inquiry.
Sprouts News Investigation Team (SIT) reiterates that such lapses cannot be brushed aside as clerical errors. In a criminal matter involving extortion, the loss of a case file represents a potential miscarriage of justice.
