New Delhi, Sep 11 : The Supreme Court Tuesday refused to interfere with the Jammu and Kashmir government appointing an acting director general of police (DGP).

A bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud issued notice and sought a reply from the Centre.

The state government on September 6 appointed Dilbagh Singh as acting police chief, replacing S P Vaid who was posted as transport commissioner.

During the hearing, Attorney General K K Venugopal, who appeared for the Centre, said the prohibition to appoint an acting DGP was introduced to prevent misuse of the two-year fixed tenure given in an earlier verdict of the apex court.

Advocate Shoeb Alam, appearing for Jammu and Kashmir, said the appointment of an acting DGP was purely an interim measure to tide over the peculiar situation till a regular appointment was made in consultation with UPSC.

"We cannot afford the police force to be without a chief," he said, citing the law and order situation in Jammu and Kashmir.PTI

Srinagar, Sept 7: Former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir Omar Abdullah has criticised the timing of changing the state DGP, saying there was no hurry to replace S P Vaid and the state police could do without having to deal with the confusion of leadership.

The state government removed Vaid as the DGP late Thursday night and handed the charge to DG Prisons Dilbagh Singh till a permanent appointment is made.

"There was no hurry to replace @spvaid. He should have been changed only when a permanent arrangement had been worked out. @JmuKmrPolice has enough problems without having to deal with confusion of leadership," Omar wrote on Twitter soon after the government announced Vaid's removal.

"Changing the DG is the prerogative of the administration but why a DG as a temporary arrangement? The current DG won't know if he's going to stay & others who would like his job will be trying to replace him. None of this is good for @JmuKmrPolice," Omar said.

The outgoing DGP thanked the police department, other security agencies and the people for their support during his tenure as the top cop of the state.

"I'm thankful to God that he gave me the opportunity to serve my people and my country. I'm grateful to @JmuKmrPolice, security agencies, and people of J&K for their support and their faith in me.

My best wishes to the new DGP," Vaid wrote on Twitter. (PTI)

Chandigarh, Aug 23: Jat community members in Haryana have planned to hold peaceful protests at public functions attended by Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar and his ministers for not implementing quota in government jobs and education and not withdrawing cases filed in connection with the 2016 quota stir.

In June this year, the All-India Jat Aarakshan Sangarsh Samiti (AIJASS) had announced that it would be holding dharnas from August 16.

The members of AIJASS claimed that Khattar himself had assured them of withdrawing all the cases registered against the community leaders except for 45 cases.

However, they said, the state government later went back on its promise.

After the deadline lapsed, the community members have now decided to hold protests at public functions of the chief minister and Finance Minister Capt Abhimanyu in nine districts -- Sonepat, Rohtak, Hisar, Panipat, Jind, Kaithal, Dadri, Bhiwani and Jhajjar, said AIJASS president Yashpal Malik.

The protests will later be extended to six other districts, he said.

Accusing the BJP-led Haryana government of betraying the community, Malik said, "We gave them enough time, we have been holding peaceful protests and dharnas for several months. However, they have failed to meet our demands, which the government itself has already accepted in previous rounds of talks. We are left with no other option now. As our fresh deadline has expired, we will be holding protests now."

Meanwhile, at a high-level meeting here last week, Haryana DGP B S Sandhu had said that all the divisional commissioners and superintendents of police would keep a tab on security arrangement.

"Discussions would be held with sarpanches and members of Panchayat Samiti. If any untoward incident takes place, then the administration would strictly deal with it," Sandhu had said in the meeting, according to an official release.

"Nobody would be allowed to disturb the law and order in the state and strict actions would be taken against those who would do so," he had said. (PTI)

Prior to becoming the DGP, Thakur, an IPS officer of 1986 batch, was Director General of Anti-Corruption Bureau.
