THE
July 3, 2018, Supreme Court’s directive on the appointment of the DGPs has
revived the debate on Police reforms. Rejecting a petition for modifications of
its September 2006 judgment in Prakash Singh & Others case, the court
reiterated that the states must consult UPSC for selecting their police chiefs.
A DGP appointed thus was required to have a minimum tenure of two years. The
Centre, represented by Attorney General, had submitted that of the 29 states in
the Union, only five had followed the court’s direction. The directive has
already had desired effect.
