Supreme Court Addresses Sudden Shift of CAPF Contempt Petitions to Special Bench
The Supreme Court addressed concerns over the sudden removal of contempt petitions related to the deputation of IPS officers to Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) from a bench's cause list. The petitions, linked to a 2025 judgment directing the reduction of such deputations, were abruptly shifted to a special bench without prior notice to petitioners or the original judges. The Registry explained the change followed a mention before the Chief Justice of India, and government law officers apologized for not informing all parties, prompting the Court to emphasize institutional transparency and proper procedure.
