Supreme Court Orders Centre to Join Meeting on Police Station CCTV Functionality

The Supreme Court directed the Centre and other stakeholders to participate in a meeting on March 14, 2026, to discuss creating a centralized dashboard and standardizing CCTV infrastructure in police stations. This follows a suo motu public interest litigation addressing the lack of functional CCTVs, with previous orders mandating CCTV installation in police stations and investigative agencies to monitor human rights compliance. The Centre apologized for missing a prior meeting and assured cooperation. The case is scheduled for further hearing on March 23.
