Supreme Court to Hear Centre's Plea Challenging Jharkhand DGP Appointment
The Supreme Court will hear the Centre's plea seeking contempt proceedings against the Jharkhand government for appointing IPS officer Tadasha Mishra as state DGP a day before her retirement, allegedly violating the Supreme Court's Prakash Singh guidelines requiring six months' residual service. The Centre challenges Jharkhand's 2025 regulations that removed this requirement, arguing the appointments of Mishra and another officer are illegal and bypass the mandated selection process. The court will consider these issues alongside other related petitions.
