The Jharkhand High Court has issued a contempt notice to the Director General of Police for failing to install CCTV cameras in police stations as mandated by the state government.
On Thursday, the Jharkhand High Court issued a contempt notice to the Director General of Police (DGP) for not installing CCTV cameras in police stations across the state, as mandated by the state government.
The notice cites the DGP's failure to comply with a directive issued earlier this year to enhance transparency and accountability in law enforcement.
The court warned that non‑compliance could lead to further legal action and potential removal of the DGP.
The move underscores the judiciary's role in enforcing administrative orders and ensuring public safety measures are implemented.
