Supreme Court To Hear Plea Challenging Rakesh Asthana As Delhi Police Commissioner | Read
The Supreme Court will hear a petition challenging the appointment of Rakesh Asthana as the Delhi Police Commissioner. A two-member bench of Chief Justice NV Ramana and Justice Surya Kant is expected to hear this matter on Thursday. The petition has been filed by a lawyer - ML Sharma - who has challenged the appointment as being in violation of a 2018 Supreme Court order that said the UPSC (Union Public Service Commission) should, as far as practical, consider only officials with two years of service left.
