Supreme Court seeks Registry note on why CAPF officers’ case was struck off Tuesday’s cause list despite judicial order
The Supreme Court of India has demanded an explanation from its Registry regarding why a contempt petition concerning CAPF cadre issues was removed from the cause list despite a direct judicial order. The court has rescheduled the hearing for the following day.
Why it matters
This case touches on administrative accountability within the judiciary and the implementation of government policy regarding the Indian Police Service.
A Supreme Court Bench of Justices Ujjal Bhuyan and Atul S. Chandurkar has asked the top court’s Registry to explain why a contempt petition related to the implementation of its May 2025 judgment on cadre issues in the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) was “struck off” the cause list, despite a specific judicial order directing that it be listed for hearing at 2 p.m. on September 29.
The Bench directed that the case, along with connected matters, be listed again at 2 p.m. on September 30.
