Supreme Court Seeks Explanation on IPS Officer Deputations to CAPFs Since 2025
The Supreme Court has sought an affidavit from the Union Home Secretary regarding the deputation of 46 Indian Police Service (IPS) officers to senior positions in Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) since its May 23, 2025 judgment. The court requested details on the procedure followed, including whether formal requisitions were made, and reasons for these appointments despite its directive to progressively reduce IPS deputations up to the Senior Administrative Grade level within two years. The court will continue monitoring the judgment's implementation.
