NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court today asked 12 states including Maharashtra and Assam to give roadmaps on filling up of vacancies at various levels in their police forces.
A bench of Chief Justice J S Khehar and Justice D Y Chandrachud, which had recently passed orders asking states like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar to fill up such vacancies to ensure proper policing, directed the remaining 12 states to take a cue from its directions and give their proposals within two weeks.
“We have passed orders for filling up vacancies in other states. The nature of the order is known. You peruse the orders and file affidavits,” the bench said.
The states which have to give roadmaps now, include Maharashtra, Assam, Odisha, Delhi, Manipur and Tripura.
The bench posted the matter after two weeks for passing of formal orders in this regard. (AGENCIES)
