Complainant alleges bias, state says claim baseless<\/span><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court<\/a> on Thursday asked Union Public Service Commission to defer the selection of a panel of three officers from which the Odisha govt was to choose the successor of present DGP Y B Khurania, who retires on Aug 16.Appearing for applicant Jayant Das, senior advocate P Chidambaram told a bench of CJI Surya Kant, and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana that a certain ADGP was hurriedly promoted to DGP rank and included in the panel of names sent by Odisha govt to UPSC<\/a>, which was against the DGP selection procedure laid down by SC in the two decade-old Prakash Singh judgement.When amicus curiae and senior advocate Raju Ramachandran said the matter required consideration, Odisha advocate general Pitambara Acharya said the state had followed Prakash Singh guidelines scrupulously and sent names of 11 DGP-rank police officers to UPSC for preparation of a panel of three-most suitable officers.\u201cThe complainant has seven criminal cases pending against him and is a habitual offender. He might have a certain axe to grind against some officers. There is no breach of any procedure. We will present a clear picture before court,\u201d Acharya said.<\/p>\n
