Supreme Court Seeks Details on State Rules for DGP Appointments Nationwide
The Supreme Court has expanded its review of the appointment process for Directors General of Police (DGPs) across all Indian states. It has asked the Centre to provide details of the legislative or executive rules each state follows for selecting police chiefs. The court also directed the Jharkhand government and DGP Tadasha Mishra, appointed just before her retirement, to respond to challenges against her appointment by November 16. The review aims to assess compliance with the Supreme Court's earlier Prakash Singh directives comprehensively.
