On Monday, the Apex Court rejected the Public Interest Litigation filed by a West Bengal based Lawyer, challenging the constitutional validity of Rule 6 (1) of IPS (Cadre) Rules, 1954 for conferring powers on the Central Govt to override the states in connection with matters of transfer & deputation of IPS cadre officers.
A 2-Judge Bench of the Supreme Court, headed by Justice L Nageswara Rao & also comprising Justice S Ravindra Bhat dismissed the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by a West Bengal based lawyer, Abu Sohel.
"We dismiss the petition. We do not find any merits in the petition," the bench led by Justice Rao said in his order.
The lawyer-cum petitioner, Sohel, in his petition, pleaded to the Supreme Court that Rule 6(1) should be struck down by the SC for violation of the Constitution of India & public policy.
The petitioner contended before the Supreme Court that at present, the states have to bear the brunt of arbitrary actions taken by the Central government under the said Rule.
