SC asks High Courts to act on police vacancies

Legal Correspondent New Delhi The Supreme Court has asked High Courts across the country to take suo motu cogni­ sance of large number of vacancies in State police forces and monitor the situation. A Bench led by Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi recently observed in an order that “one of the central issues” canvassed in a PIL was the “large number” of vacancies in different posts in the police forces across States. The apex court said the High Courts, rather than the Supreme Court, would be in a better position to effectively monitor the filling up of these vacancies. It said the problem was State­specific. “The issue and problems are State­specific and can be appropriately dealt with by the respective High Courts,” the apex court observed. The PIL was filed by Manish Kumar seeking a series of directions, including the constitu­ tion of a Police Commission to deal with alle­ gations of police action, redressal of grievanc­ es of police officers and their welfare. It also wanted the court to direct the Centre to evolve a mechanism to prevent violent mass agitations and destruction of life and property.

‘Used old song of Javed Akhtar’

Press Trust of India MUMBAI Producer Sandip Singh, whose film PM Narendra Modi is embroiled in a con­ troversy after Javed Akhtar expressed shock at getting credit for a song in the biopic, said the noted lyri­ cist could have “shared his grievance personally”. “Javed sahab is a senior writer.... We have grown up listening to his songs. We used one of his old songs ‘Ishwar Allah’ from 1947: Earth and gave him credit.” CM https://t.me/TheHindu_Zone_officialYK https://t.me/TheHindu_Zone_official https://t.me/TheHindu_Zone_official
