High Court to Haryana: Clarify on cops sentenced to month in jail
The HC has also directed the state govt to depute a nodal officer, who is conversant with cases relating to the police force, to assist the office of advocate general, Haryana.
Justice Jagmohan Bansal passed these orders while hearing a matter in which it was noticed that a former sub-inspector of Haryana Police, who was convicted and sentenced to three years' imprisonment in a criminal case, was compulsorily retired from service instead of being dismissed from service.
During the hearing of the matter, the HC also observed that no nodal officer from the police force was deputed to assist the office of AG, Haryana, which is the root cause of repeated adjournments and delays in the adjudication of cases. Hearing the matter, the court on July 15 directed the home secretary to appear before the court to assist with the matter.
In compliance with the order, the state home secretary, Dr Sumita Mishra, appeared via videoconferencing.

Maya welcomes Centre stand on socialist, secular in Preamble
Lucknow: BSP chief Mayawati on Friday welcomed the Union law minister Arjun Ram Meghwal's statement in Parliament that the govt has no current plan or intention to remove the words 'socialist' and 'secular' from the Preamble of the Indian Constitution. Insisting that the statement was "appropriate and commendable", the BSP chief, in a post on X, said, "It is news of relief and assurance for all such people, including our party BSP, who are completely against any such improper change or tampering in the Constitution of the most revered Babasaheb Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar and were also worried about such wrong demands arising." It all started in June when RSS general secretary, Dattatreya Hosabale said that whether the words 'secular' and 'socialist' should remain in the preamble of the Constitution needed to be discussed. Mayawati had then said that it will be extremely inappropriate to tamper with the provisions and humanitarian objectives of the Constitution, "as words used in it and its preamble satisfy the soul of the country, and were implemented after a lot of prudence and long and in-depth discussion." She said that her party, BSP, was getting a feeling that it was time to raise a voice against such things nationally. "If any political party tries to alter the Constitution, the BSP will not simply sit and watch over it, but hit the streets in protest," she said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo The former UP CM said that India is the country with the largest population of people of different religions, like Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Buddhists, and Parsis, and the specialty of unity in diversity through the Constitution is its unique identity across the world.
