New Delhi, December 17: The Supreme Court today decided to make a closer scrutiny of the process of appointing state police chiefs to evolve a system for it on a constitutional basis and not merely as a stop-gap arrangement while also factoring its limitation that it does not govern the country.
“We want to know if it is permissible for the court to interfere with the affairs concerning the federal structure of the country,” said a bench a Chief Justice S H Kapadia while dealing with a plea for implementation of the court’s various directions on police reform given in September 2006.
