Supreme Court Seeks State-Wise Details on DGP Appointment Rules Across India
The Supreme Court has asked the Centre to provide a state-wise summary of legislative and executive frameworks governing the appointment of Directors General of Police (DGPs) across India. This follows scrutiny of Jharkhand's law allowing DGP appointments with less than six months' remaining tenure, challenged by the Centre and others. The court seeks comprehensive details from states, including Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, and Bihar, to assess compliance with the 2006 Prakash Singh judgment and ensure uniformity in police chief selections.
