  • Police Complaints Authorities in India a Rapid Study
    Police Complaints Authorities in India A Rapid Study Researched and Written By Devika Prasad Edited By Navaz Kotwal Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative (CHRI) B-117, First Floor, Sarvodaya Enclave, New Delhi – 110 017 Tel: 011- 43180201/43180215, Fax: 011-2686 4688 Website: www.humanrightsinitiative.org December 2012 Introduction It is now six years since the Supreme Court directed all states to begin reforming their police. In its 2006 judgement in the Prakash Singh case, the Supreme Court of India passed seven directives for structural reform of the police.1 These directives taken together were designed to kick start the process of reform. As one of the seven directives, the Court ordered all state governments and union territories to establish Police Complaints Authorities (PCAs) at the state and district levels, with immediate effect. In response to the huge volume of complaints against the police and the endemic lack of accountability, the creation of dedicated police complaints bodies has been a long-standing recommendation in relation to police reform in India. In 2006, the Court finally provided the push for implementation. The sixth anniversary is an appropriate occasion to take stock of how the Supreme Court judgement and the ensuing reforms have served the cause of police accountability in the country. Background The intention behind setting up police complaints authorities was to ensure that a local mechanism specialised in handling a wide ambit of complaints against the police, including the most serious, was readily available to the public at large. The long-term goal was to create a change in policing culture by drawing attention to and ensuring accountability for police abuses.
