SC wants no part in naming J&KDGP

The

Supreme Court yesterday refused to interfere in the appointment of senior IPS officer Dilbagh Singh as the acting DGP of Jammu and Kashmir but asked the UPSC to expedite finalisation of the panel of names for making a regular appointment to the post.

A bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra, Justice A.M. Khanwilkar and Justice D.Y. Chandrachud gave the Union Public Service Commission five weeks to finalise names after it was told that a request was forwarded to the commission. (IANS)
