Today, On 1st April, The Tripura government informed the Supreme Court that it is complying with the 2006 apex court ruling on police reforms. It stated that the process for appointing a regular Director General of Police (DGP) began on March 7. The update was provided in response to concerns over adherence to established guidelines. This move aims to ensure transparency and efficiency in police leadership appointments.
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.
