Can't appoint DGPs now: Centre

HYDERABAD: The Union home ministry made it clear that AP and Telangana cannot initiate appointment of IPS officers as DGP (Head of Police Force) at this point of time as the process of allocating officers on a permanent basis to the two states was not yet over. The Centre conveyed this to the central administrative tribunal, which was hearing two petitions by senior IPS officers, SA Huda and TP Das, challenging the appointment of JV Ramudu and Anurag Sharma as DGPs of AP and Telangana respectively.

While Telangana is continuing with the temporary DGP, AP has gone ahead with the appointment of DGP (HoPF), appointing Ramudu to the top post with a fixed tenure of two years in accordance with the Prakash Singh case. The Centre in its current affidavit says that the HoPF appointment process duly involving UPSC can start only after cadres of all officers are decided.


Huda and Das in their petition have gone one step ahead and charged both AP and UPSC with connivance to misinterpret the spirit behind the apex court judgment in the Prakash Singh case. The Centre in its counter has also said that it is eagerly awaiting recommendations of the Pratyush Sinha committee that was set up to divide the cadres between both states in a scientific way. The two states are currently running with purely temporary cadres allotted to them by the Centre on an ad hoc basis.


Appointment only after the process of allocating officers on a permanent basis to the two states gets over.
