Supreme Court Refuses To Entertain West Bengal Govt's Plea Seeking Permission To Appoint DGP Without UPSC's Involvement

Live Law  

The Supreme Court on Friday refused to entertain an application filed by the West Bengal Government seeking permission to appoint its own Director General of Police without Union Public Service Commission's involvement. Senior Advocate Siddharth Luthra, appearing for the West Bengal Government, sought permission to withdraw the application after the bench expressed disinclination to entertain it. Asserting that the State had autonomy and ultimate power of superintendence over police officials, the WB Government in its Intervention Application had requested the Top Court to modify its 2018 order in the Prakash Singh's case on police reforms that had imposed a mandate on the State Governments to appoint DGP from a panel consisting three most senior police officials, prepared by the UPSC. Stressing on the point that the State of West Bengal's application seeking similar directions was earlier also not allowed, Justice Rao asked the Senior Advocate Siddharth Luthra to not file repeated applications.
