Centre notifies Single Window System for appointing State DGPs

The Union Government has notified a Single Window System for appointing State Director-General of Police/Head of Police Force. The new policy effective April 22, 2025, comes against the backdrop of several States not following the Supreme Court orders in the Prakash Singh case and the Ministry of Home Affairs guidelines as regards appointment of DGP/HoPF. The Single Window System comprises a detailed check-list and standard easy-to-use formats for the States to send proposals enabling a smooth and expeditious process of empanelment by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), police sources said. Pointing to major discrepancies in the proposals sent for DGP appointments in the past, the Centre fixed responsibility on the State by asking an officer not below the rank of a Secretary to Government to certify minimum tenure of DGP-rank officers sent for empanelment to the UPSC. The apex court guidelines and consequent MHA circulars made it clear that an officer considered for appointment as DGP/HoPF should have a minimum residual services of six months from the date of occurrence of vacancy. Also, the States should send proposals to the UPSC at least three months before the vacancy arose or the date of superannuation of the DGP/HoPF. TN yet to send proposal In Tamil Nadu, though the vacancy for DGP/HoPF arises on August 30, 2025, when the incumbent police chief Shankar Jiwal is set to retire, the State is yet to send the proposal. Though two officers were not eligible for the top post as per the Supreme Court and MHA guidelines as they would not have a minimum of six months service, the Home Department was still getting their consent in the willingness form, the sources said. 'The Single Window System was notified in the last week of April with detailed check list and annexures making it easy for States to follow. Even if the two officers who are not eligible is cleared by the DGP's office, the Home Department would remove their names from the list as a Secretary-rank officer would have to certify the eligibility criteria. Finally, 8 DGPs in the Level-16 pay matrix would qualify for empanelment and the UPSC would send back three names – Seema Agrawal, Rajiv Kumar and Sandeep Rai Rathore – in the order of seniority,' a senior police officer told The Hindu on Tuesday. Communicating the Single Window System, the MHA in a circular to States said proposals having major discrepancies would be returned immediately. 'It is requested that suitable instructions may kindly be issued to the concerned department in the State Government responsible for sending proposals for empanelment of officers for appointment to the post of DGP/HoPF of the State to ensure submission of all proposals in future as per the guidelines prescribed for the Single Window System'. It is pertinent to note the Supreme Court is hearing a batch of petitions which alleged that the norms prescribed by the apex court in 2006 in the matter of appointing State DGPs were being flouted or not being followed in letter and spirit. A senior advocate moved the top court saying the due process was not followed in the appointment of Jharkhand DGP Anurag Gupta.

Bengaluru Ex Top Cop Won't Be Reinstated In Same Position: Karnataka Minister

Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara on Tuesday said that the former Bengaluru Police Commissioner B Dayananda, whose suspension has been revoked by the government along with three other police officers, will not be reinstated in the same position, and will be given a post equivalent to his ranking. The Karnataka government on Monday revoked the suspension of four police officers, including Dayananda, who were suspended in connection with the June 4 stampede outside the Chinnaswamy Stadium here, which left 11 people dead, pending the initiation of disciplinary proceedings. The officials whose suspensions were revoked are IPS officers: B Dayananda - Additional Director General of Police and Shekar H Tekkannavar - Superintendent of Police. Also, two Karnataka State Police Service officers: C Balakrishna - Dy SP and A K Girish - Police Inspector. However, the suspension of Vikash Kumar Vikash - Inspector General of Police, stands as proceedings related to his case are currently underway in the Karnataka High Court, official sources said. According to the government order, the suspension has been revoked as both the Judicial Commission and Magisterial committee have completed their inquiry into the stampede incident and submitted their reports to the government, and the officers also have submitted representations requesting to revoke their suspension. They have been reinstated into service with immediate effect, pending the initiation of disciplinary proceedings, as per rules, it said. "The report (of judicial commission) was discussed in the cabinet and after the discussion, the cabinet had taken a decision to reinstate them and continue the inquiry (departmental inquiry) against them. So accordingly, they will be reinstated and inquiry will be continued," Parameshwara said. Speaking to reporters here, he said, "One official (Vikash) had gone to CAT, hence he has not got this opportunity. In case directions come to reinstate him or any other directions, it will be considered." Vikash had challenged his suspension before the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), which revoked the suspension order on July 1. The government has challenged the CAT order in the High Court, and the case is still pending. To a question about whether it was a set back to the state government, the home minister said, "How is it a set back? It (suspension) was our (government) was an administrative decision, it has been inquiry has continued. Let's see what comes out." Asked about whether Dayananda would be reinstated as the Bengaluru Police Commissioner, Parameshwara said, "He will not be given the same position as Commissioner. He will be given an equivalent post to his ranking." The stampede occurred on June 4 evening outside the Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru, where a large number of people thronged to participate in the RCB team's IPL victory celebrations. Eleven people died and 56 were injured in the incident. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on June 5 ordered the suspension of five officers.

Bhoodan land case: Telangana HC questions locus standi of petitioner

HYDERABAD: The Telangana High Court on Monday scrutinised the maintainability of writ petitions filed against several senior IAS and IPS officers in a case related to alleged irregularities in the sale and mutation of Bhoodan lands at Nagaram village in Maheshwaram mandal of Rangareddy district. The case pertains to survey No 194 and 195 in Nagaram, where allegations have emerged that high-ranking bureaucrats purchased lands allegedly earmarked under the Bhoodan movement — a land donation initiative meant for landless individuals. Justice K Lakshman, hearing multiple writ petitions, including those filed by Birla Mallesh and Vadthya Ramulu, questioned the legal standing and motive of the petitioners. In particular, the court expressed concern over petitioner Birla Mallesh's locus standi, seeking clarification on how he is directly concerned with survey No 194 of Nagaram village. Senior counsels representing the IAS and IPS officers, including P Raghuram and Chandrasen Reddy, pointed out that the petitioner's mother, Birla Jangamma, had already filed a similar writ petition in 2024, which was duly disposed of. They contended that the current petition is an attempt to reopen settled issues with mala fide intent and to tarnish the reputation of senior government officials. They further alleged that Birla Mallesh deliberately suppressed this prior litigation and misled the court to obtain interim orders. Initially, the petitioner claimed that survey No 194 was Bhoodan land but later altered his position, stating it was government land.
