The Supreme Court had made a strong remark about the attitude of the police in the past. Now once again Chief Justice NV Ramana has sharply criticized the attitude of the bureaucracy and police top officials. NV Ramana on Friday said that he has a lot of objection to the behavior of police officers in the country. Ramana made the remarks while hearing a plea by suspended Indian Police Service officer Gurjinder Pal Singh seeking protection from arrest in the criminal cases registered against him in Chhattisgarh.
objection to police behavior
Significantly, suspended Indian Police Service officer Gurjinder Pal Singh has been facing serious charges like sedition and extortion. During the hearing, Chief Justice NV Ramana spoke of atrocities committed by police officers and bureaucrats. We are deeply troubled by what the bureaucracy, especially the police officers, is doing, he said. I was in favor of setting up of Standing Committees headed by Chief Justices of High Courts to look into complaints of atrocities committed by bureaucrats, especially police officers in this country. I want to play it safe.
