New Delhi, Nov. 4 -- The Supreme Court on Tuesday directed the Centre to provide details of state laws or policies that violate court-mandated guidelines on appointment of police chiefs, which mandate a minimum remaining tenure of six months for selection as DGP. Examining a law brought out by Jharkhand which allowed DGPs with less than six months tenure to be eligible for appointment, a bench led by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant held that any judgment passed in this case will affect states having similar laws. The bench, also comprising justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana said, "The Union of India shall place a report on the legislative or executive policy of states which are not in compliance with the judgment in Prakash Singh case (2006) on appointment of DGPs." The court posted the matter on November 25, asking amicus curiae and senior advocate Raju Ramachandran to provide a note on similar laws violating the Prakash Singh judgment. Ramachandran said that while studing the issue, he came across a law in Uttar Pradesh which provides an exemption to the six-month remainder service rule. He said that Punjab and Bihar have also passed laws regarding DGP appointments. Most states part of the proceedings can be asked to provide details or in the alternative, the Centre can provide the data, said Ram. "There exist similar laws/rules in other states. But the order required me to identify such laws so that the court does not have to deal with the issue piecemeal," he said....
