Srinagar, Apr 27: The J&K High Court has asked the Centre and state governments to file their response on a Public Interest Litigation regarding the modernization, reformation and progression of the police force in Jammu and Kashmir.
The PIL was registered pursuant to the directions of the Supreme Court on 11 March this year, passed in a Writ Petition (Civil) No. 183 of 2013 titled Manish Kumar v. Union of India & Ors.
"Since the matter pertains to the modernization, reformation and progression of the Police Force in the State of Jammu and Kashmir, therefore, it shall be appropriate to make the following Authorities as party respondents to seek their response," a division bench of Justices Ali Mohammad Magrey and Tashi Rabastan said and arrayed Union of India through Secretary to the Government, Ministry of Home Affairs and State of Jammu and Kashmir through its Chief Secretary as the respondents.
The notice on behalf of arrayed respondents was waived T. M. Shamsi, ASGI, and B. A. Dar, Sr. AAG, respectively for Union of India and The Chief Secretary. "Response within six weeks," the court added.
The original petition before the top court had sought directions to all the States & Union Territories to constitute Police Commission to deal with allegation of police action, redressal of grievances of police and to make recommendations for the welfare of police force. It had sought directions to the States to formulate and implement the guidelines for prevention and control of violent mass agitations and destruction of life & property, in terms of the guidelines suggested by Court in separate petition. The petitioner had also sought directions to the States and Union Territories to fill up the vacant posts in the Police and State Armed forces so that the police force does not remain overburdened. The petition had also sought directions to all the States and Union Territories to provide for periodic training and upgradation of police force and to fix the working hours for the police personnel.
Direction were also sought to the Union of India to prescribe guidelines for the Media Reporting of the violent mass agitation and police action for prevention and control thereof. The petitioner also sought orders restraining the States from drawing a presumption against the action of police acting under the constitutional and statutory obligations." |
