&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Eleven years after order, none of the states have conformed to the guidelines, says a Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative report.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;Eleven years ago, on this day, the Supreme Court had issued directions to the Centre and state governments to transform their police forces into professional, accountable and efficient service units. However, a recent report shows that compliance remains far from satisfactory with none of the governments enacting laws to adhere to the guidelines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In fact, the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative, a non-profit organisation working in the areas of access to justice (police and prison reforms) and access to information for over two decades, has pointed out that while 18 states enacted new police acts and 11 issued executive orders, ostensibly to comply with the Supreme Court orders, not a single one of them conformed to the directives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Many states have in fact taken the opportunity to ensure the police remain under the control of state governments and less accountable,&amp;rdquo; a note issued by CHRI said, adding that the seven directives had provided for &amp;ldquo;practical mechanisms to kick-start reform.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The idea behind these directives was to &amp;ldquo;put in place mechanisms to ensure political control of police by the political executive is conditioned and kept within its legitimate bounds; internal management systems are fair and transparent; policing efficiencies are increased in terms of their core functions and most importantly public complaints are addressed and police accountability enhanced,&amp;rsquo;&amp;rsquo; it said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Directives rejected, ignored or diluted&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
However, most of the states rejected, ignored or diluted significant features of the directives. The CHRI said the laws in these states &amp;ldquo;continue to vest the state governments with the sole discretion to appoint and transfer the Director General of Police instead of providing for selection from a panel of officers chosen by the UPSC.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also, it said, the final decision on transfer and postings of the superintendent of police in charge of a district, or the officer-in-charge of a police station, continues to vest in the state government instead of with the police organisation as envisaged by the court. &amp;ldquo;This will continue to limit the ability of the police to stand up against illegal or irregular political orders,&amp;rdquo; the CHRI said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;No independent evaluation&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Another area of concern has been that the non-adherence to independent checks and balances as suggested by the apex court. &amp;ldquo;Where constituted, the State Security Commission, a bi-partisan body mandated to develop policy guidelines and conduct police evaluation, either fails to ensure adequate and meaningful representation of independent members and/or does not include leader of the opposition, thereby reducing it to a mere rubber stamp,&amp;rdquo; the organisation said.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Eleven years after order, none of the states have conformed to the guidelines, says a Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative report.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;Eleven years ago, on this day, the Supreme Court had issued directions to the Centre and state governments to transform their police forces into professional, accountable and efficient service units. However, a recent report shows that compliance remains far from satisfactory with none of the governments enacting laws to adhere to the guidelines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In fact, the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative, a non-profit organisation working in the areas of access to justice (police and prison reforms) and access to information for over two decades, has pointed out that while 18 states enacted new police acts and 11 issued executive orders, ostensibly to comply with the Supreme Court orders, not a single one of them conformed to the directives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Many states have in fact taken the opportunity to ensure the police remain under the control of state governments and less accountable,&amp;rdquo; a note issued by CHRI said, adding that the seven directives had provided for &amp;ldquo;practical mechanisms to kick-start reform.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The idea behind these directives was to &amp;ldquo;put in place mechanisms to ensure political control of police by the political executive is conditioned and kept within its legitimate bounds; internal management systems are fair and transparent; policing efficiencies are increased in terms of their core functions and most importantly public complaints are addressed and police accountability enhanced,&amp;rsquo;&amp;rsquo; it said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Directives rejected, ignored or diluted&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
However, most of the states rejected, ignored or diluted significant features of the directives. The CHRI said the laws in these states &amp;ldquo;continue to vest the state governments with the sole discretion to appoint and transfer the Director General of Police instead of providing for selection from a panel of officers chosen by the UPSC.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also, it said, the final decision on transfer and postings of the superintendent of police in charge of a district, or the officer-in-charge of a police station, continues to vest in the state government instead of with the police organisation as envisaged by the court. &amp;ldquo;This will continue to limit the ability of the police to stand up against illegal or irregular political orders,&amp;rdquo; the CHRI said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;No independent evaluation&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Another area of concern has been that the non-adherence to independent checks and balances as suggested by the apex court. &amp;ldquo;Where constituted, the State Security Commission, a bi-partisan body mandated to develop policy guidelines and conduct police evaluation, either fails to ensure adequate and meaningful representation of independent members and/or does not include leader of the opposition, thereby reducing it to a mere rubber stamp,&amp;rdquo; the organisation said.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;Eleven years ago, on this day, the Supreme Court had issued directions to the Centre and state governments to transform their police forces into professional, accountable and efficient service units.

Also, it said, the final decision on transfer and postings of the superintendent of police in charge of a district, or the officer-in-charge of a police station, continues to vest in the state government instead of with the police organisation as envisaged by the court. &amp;ldquo;This will continue to limit the ability of the police to stand up against illegal or irregular political orders,&amp;rdquo; the CHRI said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;No independent evaluation&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Another area of concern has been that the non-adherence to independent checks and balances as suggested by the apex court. &amp;ldquo;Where constituted, the State Security Commission, a bi-partisan body mandated to develop policy guidelines and conduct police evaluation, either fails to ensure adequate and meaningful representation of independent members and/or does not include leader of the opposition, thereby reducing it to a mere rubber stamp,&amp;rdquo; the organisation said.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Eleven years after order, none of the states have conformed to the guidelines, says a Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative report.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;Eleven years ago, on this day, the Supreme Court had issued directions to the Centre and state governments to transform their police forces into professional, accountable and efficient service units. However, a recent report shows that compliance remains far from satisfactory with none of the governments enacting laws to adhere to the guidelines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In fact, the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative, a non-profit organisation working in the areas of access to justice (police and prison reforms) and access to information for over two decades, has pointed out that while 18 states enacted new police acts and 11 issued executive orders, ostensibly to comply with the Supreme Court orders, not a single one of them conformed to the directives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Many states have in fact taken the opportunity to ensure the police remain under the control of state governments and less accountable,&amp;rdquo; a note issued by CHRI said, adding that the seven directives had provided for &amp;ldquo;practical mechanisms to kick-start reform.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The idea behind these directives was to &amp;ldquo;put in place mechanisms to ensure political control of police by the political executive is conditioned and kept within its legitimate bounds; internal management systems are fair and transparent; policing efficiencies are increased in terms of their core functions and most importantly public complaints are addressed and police accountability enhanced,&amp;rsquo;&amp;rsquo; it said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Directives rejected, ignored or diluted&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
However, most of the states rejected, ignored or diluted significant features of the directives. The CHRI said the laws in these states &amp;ldquo;continue to vest the state governments with the sole discretion to appoint and transfer the Director General of Police instead of providing for selection from a panel of officers chosen by the UPSC.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also, it said, the final decision on transfer and postings of the superintendent of police in charge of a district, or the officer-in-charge of a police station, continues to vest in the state government instead of with the police organisation as envisaged by the court. &amp;ldquo;This will continue to limit the ability of the police to stand up against illegal or irregular political orders,&amp;rdquo; the CHRI said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;No independent evaluation&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Another area of concern has been that the non-adherence to independent checks and balances as suggested by the apex court. &amp;ldquo;Where constituted, the State Security Commission, a bi-partisan body mandated to develop policy guidelines and conduct police evaluation, either fails to ensure adequate and meaningful representation of independent members and/or does not include leader of the opposition, thereby reducing it to a mere rubber stamp,&amp;rdquo; the organisation said.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Eleven years after order, none of the states have conformed to the guidelines, says a Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative report.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;Eleven years ago, on this day, the Supreme Court had issued directions to the Centre and state governments to transform their police forces into professional, accountable and efficient service units. However, a recent report shows that compliance remains far from satisfactory with none of the governments enacting laws to adhere to the guidelines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In fact, the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative, a non-profit organisation working in the areas of access to justice (police and prison reforms) and access to information for over two decades, has pointed out that while 18 states enacted new police acts and 11 issued executive orders, ostensibly to comply with the Supreme Court orders, not a single one of them conformed to the directives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Many states have in fact taken the opportunity to ensure the police remain under the control of state governments and less accountable,&amp;rdquo; a note issued by CHRI said, adding that the seven directives had provided for &amp;ldquo;practical mechanisms to kick-start reform.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The idea behind these directives was to &amp;ldquo;put in place mechanisms to ensure political control of police by the political executive is conditioned and kept within its legitimate bounds; internal management systems are fair and transparent; policing efficiencies are increased in terms of their core functions and most importantly public complaints are addressed and police accountability enhanced,&amp;rsquo;&amp;rsquo; it said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Directives rejected, ignored or diluted&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
However, most of the states rejected, ignored or diluted significant features of the directives. The CHRI said the laws in these states &amp;ldquo;continue to vest the state governments with the sole discretion to appoint and transfer the Director General of Police instead of providing for selection from a panel of officers chosen by the UPSC.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also, it said, the final decision on transfer and postings of the superintendent of police in charge of a district, or the officer-in-charge of a police station, continues to vest in the state government instead of with the police organisation as envisaged by the court. &amp;ldquo;This will continue to limit the ability of the police to stand up against illegal or irregular political orders,&amp;rdquo; the CHRI said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;No independent evaluation&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Another area of concern has been that the non-adherence to independent checks and balances as suggested by the apex court. &amp;ldquo;Where constituted, the State Security Commission, a bi-partisan body mandated to develop policy guidelines and conduct police evaluation, either fails to ensure adequate and meaningful representation of independent members and/or does not include leader of the opposition, thereby reducing it to a mere rubber stamp,&amp;rdquo; the organisation said.&lt;br /&gt;

<em>Eleven years after order, none of the states have conformed to the guidelines, says a Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative report.<br />
<br />
New Delhi: </em>Eleven years ago, on this day, the Supreme Court had issued directions to the Centre and state governments to transform their police forces into professional, accountable and efficient service units. However, a recent report shows that compliance remains far from satisfactory with none of the governments enacting laws to adhere to the guidelines.<br />
<br />
In fact, the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative, a non-profit organisation working in the areas of access to justice (police and prison reforms) and access to information for over two decades, has pointed out that while 18 states enacted new police acts and 11 issued executive orders, ostensibly to comply with the Supreme Court orders, not a single one of them conformed to the directives.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Many states have in fact taken the opportunity to ensure the police remain under the control of state governments and less accountable,&rdquo; a note issued by CHRI said, adding that the seven directives had provided for &ldquo;practical mechanisms to kick-start reform.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
The idea behind these directives was to &ldquo;put in place mechanisms to ensure political control of police by the political executive is conditioned and kept within its legitimate bounds; internal management systems are fair and transparent; policing efficiencies are increased in terms of their core functions and most importantly public complaints are addressed and police accountability enhanced,&rsquo;&rsquo; it said.<br />
<br />
<em>Directives rejected, ignored or diluted<br />
</em><br />
However, most of the states rejected, ignored or diluted significant features of the directives. The CHRI said the laws in these states &ldquo;continue to vest the state governments with the sole discretion to appoint and transfer the Director General of Police instead of providing for selection from a panel of officers chosen by the UPSC.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
Also, it said, the final decision on transfer and postings of the superintendent of police in charge of a district, or the officer-in-charge of a police station, continues to vest in the state government instead of with the police organisation as envisaged by the court. &ldquo;This will continue to limit the ability of the police to stand up against illegal or irregular political orders,&rdquo; the CHRI said.<br />
<br />
<em>No independent evaluation<br />
</em><br />
Another area of concern has been that the non-adherence to independent checks and balances as suggested by the apex court. &ldquo;Where constituted, the State Security Commission, a bi-partisan body mandated to develop policy guidelines and conduct police evaluation, either fails to ensure adequate and meaningful representation of independent members and/or does not include leader of the opposition, thereby reducing it to a mere rubber stamp,&rdquo; the organisation said.<br />

SC Directives on Police Reforms Rejected, Ignored or Diluted by States -Gaurav Vivek Bhatnagar

-TheWire.in Eleven years after order, none of the states have conformed to the guidelines, says a Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative report.
