The Supreme Court of India is set to hear petitions in May regarding the enforcement of its 2006 judgment aimed at police reforms, including separating investigation and law enforcement roles and instituting merit-based DGP appointments. Advocacy groups express concerns over state governments’ non-compliance, prompting the court to initiate contempt proceedings.
Today (6th May): The Supreme Court directed the Maharashtra government to implement recommendations from the 1992-93 Mumbai riots case, including handling pending cases, compensating missing victims’ families, and police reforms. It mandated the establishment of a Special Cell to locate accused individuals, urged housing facilities for police personnel, and established a monitoring committee for directive enforcement.
