SC Raps Karnataka, Three Other States over Police Reforms

New Delhi , Nov 8 (IANS): The Supreme Court Monday directed the chief secretaries of Karnataka, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal to be present in the court Dec 6 to answer why these states have not implemented its directions for police reforms.

Given in a September 2006 judgment, these directives involved setting up state security commissions, fixed tenures for directors  general of police (DGP), inspectors general of police (IGP), and separation of investigation from law and order duties.

The court also asked the states to set up a police establishment board and a police complaint authority.

The directions required the state governments to name senior officers who would prepare a panel of three officers, one of whom can be selected as the DGP.

The special bench of the apex court, comprising Chief Justice S.H. Kapadia , Justice Aftab Alam and Justice K.S. Radhakrishnan, pulled up the state governments for not complying with any of these  directions fiven in 2006.

    With VS Achar as HM nothing could have been expected. In crime all politicians are great chums. If the Apex Court order is followed lot of political crimes including Padmapriya murder and shooting down of the peaceful protesters in Haveri in the name of nexalite encounter a few years back as also a lot of corruption would come to light.
