Supreme Court to Hear Centre's Challenge to Jharkhand DGP Appointment Rules
The Supreme Court will hear the Centre's plea challenging Jharkhand's appointment of Tadasha Mishra as Director General of Police (DGP), alleging violation of the Prakash Singh judgment requiring at least six months of residual service for DGP appointments. The Centre contends Jharkhand's 2025 regulation, which removed this requirement, is illegal. The court noted the rules appear contrary to its earlier rulings and has sought Mishra's response. Jharkhand has expressed willingness to reconsider the rules amid ongoing legal scrutiny.
