The Supreme Court recorded the Centre’s assurance that the CAPF cadre review proposal will be submitted for approval by November 30 and sought comparative IPS deputation figures.
Shyam Divan told the Supreme Court at the CAPF Contempt hearing that the CAPF Act notified on October 8 cannot shield the cadre review that was due under the 2025 judgment.
The Centre has brought the Central Armed Police Forces (General Administration) Act, 2026 into force from October 8, even as cadre officers’ challenge to the law and a contempt petition remain pending before the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court has dismissed the Centre’s plea seeking a review of its earlier order to reduce IPS deputation in CAPFs. The ruling mandates a cadre review within six months, marking a major win for CAPF officers.
