e-Orderly Room

हर मामला। हर चरण। दर्ज़।

Built for the Crime Branch, Lucknow, e-Orderly Room gives every investigating officer — and every officer supervising them — one shared, real-time view of a case, from the day an FIR is registered to the day the chargesheet is filed in court.

About the System

One record for every case — from the officer working it to the officer overseeing it

e-Orderly Room replaces scattered registers, case diaries and status-call follow-ups with one authoritative record — visible, at the same time, to the investigating officer and to every supervising officer above them.

Checklist-driven investigations

Every case opens with the checklist appropriate to its crime type — the statutory steps, the forensic steps, the chargesheet clock — attached automatically, not typed out from memory each time.

Case monitoring for supervisors

An ACP, ADCP, DCP or Joint CP sees every open case in their cell, what's pending on it, and how long it has been pending — without asking for a status report.

Orderly Room, digitised

The formal supervisory review cycle runs through the system: directions issued against a case, compliance tracked, escalation raised automatically when a direction runs overdue.

A record that holds up — for a supervisor, or a court

Every status change, direction and reassignment is logged the moment it happens — so what occurred on a case, and when, can always be reconstructed.

Why It Matters

Investigations were hard to supervise at scale

A crime branch runs dozens of active investigations across several units at once. On paper, a supervisor only finds out a step was missed, or a deadline was close, when it is already late.

The problem

Visibility only arrives after the fact

  • Case status lives in a register or in an officer's memory, not in one place
  • A missed step surfaces at chargesheet time, not while there is still time to fix it
  • A supervisor's directions are tracked by memory, not by a system that reminds anyone
  • An officer moving between postings takes the case context with them
How e-Orderly Room addresses it

The system carries the context, not the officer

  • Every case, every checklist item, every direction lives in one system, for every role that needs it
  • Pending items and approaching deadlines are visible before they are overdue
  • A direction issued in an orderly room review is tracked to compliance automatically
  • A case reassigned to another officer arrives with its full history intact
Fast-tracking the investigation

How it helps an investigating officer finish on time

The system is built around the officer doing the work — every feature exists to remove a step that used to cost time, not to add a form to fill in.

1

The right checklist, attached the moment the case is opened

An officer no longer has to recall or look up which steps apply to a crime type — the checklist for that category is attached automatically at registration, on the phone, in the field.

2

The chargesheet clock and statutory windows track themselves

The 60-day chargesheet period, the arrest-discipline window, the victim medical window — each is tracked from the moment it starts, so an officer sees what is due and when, instead of counting backward from a filing date.

3

One update, seen by the whole chain of command

Marking a checklist item complete, or pending with a reason, updates the case for every supervisor watching it — no separate status report, no repeating the same update up three ranks.

4

Directions reach the officer, and compliance is tracked back

A supervisor's direction from an orderly room review reaches the officer as a case update, not a separate note to remember — and the system tracks whether it was complied with, and by when.

5

Less time on paperwork, more time on the case

Registration, checklist tracking, and status reporting happen inside the one workflow an officer already uses to work the case — not as separate register entries done after the fact.

Leading This Initiative

IPS Kiran Yadav

Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime), Lucknow Commissionerate · 2021-batch IPS, Uttar Pradesh cadre

IPS Kiran Yadav has led this initiative to bring investigation monitoring in the Crime Branch, Lucknow onto a single digital system, in place of the registers and status calls it replaces. She joined the IPS after clearing the UPSC Civil Services Examination 2020 with All India Rank 392, having previously worked as an auditor under the Comptroller and Auditor General. She currently serves as ADCP Crime, Lucknow Commissionerate, after earlier serving as ACP in the same commissionerate.

A late-night Crime Branch raid on the Summit Building in Gomti Nagar, led by IPS Kiran Yadav, dismantled a fake call centre whose operators posed as US technical support, banking and customer-service agents to defraud American citizens — recruiting English-fluent operatives trained to speak with an American accent.

Two operations managers were arrested, and forensic teams are investigating international money-flows, digital wallets and suspected hawala transactions linked to the racket. Coverage compared its scale and sophistication to Jharkhand's Jamtara — the town that gave India's cyber-fraud networks their name.
