ET Report
Jammu, Apr 26: A file pertaining to the Police Act, which had covered all aspects making the state police accountable, has gone missing from the Home Department, putting a question mark on intention and working of officials there.
The file had been submitted to Home Department by the then DGP Kuldeep Khoda. The revelation of disappearing of that particular file was made after hue and cry in last budget session in Srinagar raised by leaders of opposition party including Congress MLA from Kishtwar G.M Saroori demanding for the pattern of JKP's promotion policy at par with the other Northern states including Delhi, Rajasthan, Punjab and Himachal Pradesh. Later, the Xerox copy of the same was dispatched to the Home Department by Police Headquarters (PHQ) which is also stated to have gone undercover.
If the sources are to be believed, then DGP Kuldeep Khoda's draft and presentation to make the JKP accountable to public body (State Security Commission) only and not the bureaucracy and politicians make them unhappy, resulting disappearing of the file from Home Department time and again.
"Following the direction of the Supreme Court (Parkash Singh & Ors) then DGP Kuldeep Khoda prepared the draft which had recommended accountability of Jammu and Kashmir Police to the people (public body) and law of land, redefining of police's act and its promotion policy at par with the other Northern state, representation of which was also made to then Chief Minister Omar Abdullaha. In the draft the interference of bureaucracy was completely vanished, but unfortunately it does not make its fate", authoritative sources said.
Sources further said that following the news of disappearance of that particular file from Home Department, cripples started erupting with in police's circle as at whose behest the files have been making underground.
Pertinently, State Governments are directed by the Supreme Court to constitute a State Security Commission in every State to ensure that the State Government does not exercise unwarranted influence or pressure on the State police and for laying down the broad policy guidelines so that the State police always acts according to the laws of the land and the Constitution of the country. This watchdog body shall be headed by the Chief Minister or Home Minister as Chairman and have the DGP of the State as its ex-officio Secretary. The other members of the Commission shall be chosen in such amanner that it is able to function independent of Government control. For this purpose, the State may choose any of the models recommended by the National Human Rights Commission, the Ribeiro Committee or the Sorabjee Committee. |
