In Brief
Manish Kumar filed a writ petition seeking Court direction to fill police personnel vacancies across multiple Indian States. The Supreme Court issued detailed directions requiring Bihar, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh to fill vacancies at various police ranks (Constables, Sub-Inspectors, DSP) within specified timelines through their respective recruitment agencies. Each State undertook to complete recruitment processes—ranging from July 2017 to 2020 depending on rank and position. The Court ordered senior officials to supervise progress, and directed three other high-vacancy States (Assam, Maharashtra, Odisha) to prepare similar roadmaps. The matter was listed for further hearing to monitor compliance.
