Despite being an IPS officer, he got appointment to the posts of IAS in the Electricity Corporation and Transport Department.
Now read what is the case of Prakash Singh … This decision is from the year 2006. Then the Supreme Court gave important guidelines to the appointment and removal of DGP in Prakash Singh vs India Union case. This is called Prakash Singh case, as the apex court ordered the PIL of former UP DGP Prakash Singh.
- In the judgment, the court had said that the tenure of the DGP should be at least two years old. Later, the court clarified that UPSC should ensure that the officers who are given for the post of DGP are retiring after two years.
- It is necessary to make any officer a trainee before making DGP. At least he has been an officer of DG rank.
- There will be no appointment to the post of DGP as a caretaker.
- Before the end of DGP term, the state government will send the name to UPSC for this post. The list will be sent back to the names of three senior officers by increasing this list. Of these, the state government can choose any name.
