SC agrees to examine recalling its split verdict on CEC appointment law

OBC creamy layer case

In a significant development concerning the Indian judiciary, the Supreme Court on Wednesday agreed to examine recalling its recent split verdict on whether challenges to the 2023 law governing the appointment of the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) and Election Commissioners (ECs) should be referred to a larger Constitution bench or not.

Senior advocate Gopal Sankaranarayanan has moved a recall applicating in the top court.

The 2023 law replaces the Chief Justice of India (CJI) from the selection panel with a Union Cabinet Minister of the Prime Minister’s choice. Its validity was challenged in the top court.

The Centre then moved an application requesting the top court to refer the case to a Constitution bench.

An apex court bench of Justices Dipankar Datta and Satish Chandra Sharma on September 23 gave differing opinions on the issue, with Justice Datta declining the Centre’s request for such a reference, while Justice Sharma favouring referring the matter to a larger bench.

On Wednesday, a bench comprising CJI Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana was informed about the Sankaranarayanan’s recall application. “We will examine and take a call,” the CJI said.

The petitions had challenged the constitutional validity of the Chief Election Commissioner and Other Election Commissioners (Appointment, Conditions of Service and Term of Office) Act, 2023.

The Act replaced the selection mechanism laid down by the Supreme Court in its March 2, 2023, judgement. In that judgment, the apex court had directed that the CEC and ECs be appointed by the President on the advice of a committee comprising the PM, the leader of the opposition in Lok Sabha and the CJI. Parliament subsequently enacted the 2023 law replacing the CJI with a PM’s nominee in the selection committee.

New Delhi: The central deputation tenure of Pankaj Kumar Singh (IDAS:1994) as Additional Secretary in the GST Council Secretariat, Department of Revenue, has been extended by six months.

According to an order issued by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) on Wednesday (October 7, 2026), the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) has approved the extension of his deputation tenure for six months beyond September 9, 2026, up to March 9, 2027, or until further orders, whichever is earlier.

Singh has been serving as Additional Secretary in the GST Council Secretariat since August 2022. He had joined central deputation as Joint Secretary on September 9, 2021, for a period of five years and was subsequently appointed to his current position.

Centre moves SC calling Tadasha Mishra’s appointment as Jharkhand DGP illegal

Tadasha Mishra IPS

In a significant development, the Centre has now joined the ensuing legal battle over the appointment of Jharkhand DGP.  The Union Government on Wednesday moved the Supreme Court seeking a direction to declare the appointment of the incumbent Jharkhand DGP, Tadasha Mishra (IPS:1994:JH), as illegal, contending that the state government’s 2025 regulations governing the DGP’s selection run contrary to the top court’s directions.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta mentioned the matter before a bench comprising Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant, Justice Joymalya Bagchi and Justice V Mohana.

The Centre’s petition concerns the “Selection and Appointment of Director General and Inspector General of Police, Jharkhand (Head of the Police Force) Regulation, 2025”, notified by the state govt on January 8, 2025.

The Centre’s allegation is that, while framing its 2025 regulations for selection of the DGP, the Jharkhand govt had acted in “complete defiance” of the Supreme Court’s directions issued in Prakash Singh case.

The Jharkhand govt had later amended the 2025 regulation to remove the six months’ residual service requirement and appointed Tadasha Mishra as DGP on December 30, 2025, a day before she was to superannuate on December 31, 2025.

The Centre has now asked for a declaration that appointments made under the state’s 2025 DGP selection regulation are illegal.

The Centre’s plea alleges that the Jharkhand govt had not sought the apex court’s permission before notifying the regulation.

The Centre has also objected to the Jharkhand govt’s “selectively” in complying with the Prakash Singh judgment to confer a two-year tenure on its DGPs while departing from the Court-mandated selection procedure.

This is not all, the Union Govt has also challenged the appointment of IPS officer Anurag Gupta (IPS:1990:JH) as DGP on February 2, 2025, for a two-year tenure on the ground that Gupta had only about three months of service remaining at the time of his appointment. Gupta later took voluntary retirement.

It also informed the top court that a PIL challenging the 2025 regulations and Gupta’s appointment, which was pending before the Jharkhand High Court, was transferred to the Supreme Court on August 18, 2025.

The Centre’s application also brings to the apex court’s notice a Home Ministry’s letter dated January 6, 2026, directing the Jharkhand govt to cancel the 2025 Regulation and Mishra’s appointment, while asking it to initiate the process for appointing a DGP in accordance with the top court’s directions.

CJI Surya Kant agreed on Wednesday to list the Centre’s application for hearing on Thursday.

IAS Gavali Parag Harshad repatriated to parent cadre Odisha

New Delhi: IAS officer Gavali Parag Harshad (IAS:2013:OD), Deputy Secretary in the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA), has been prematurely repatriated to his parent cadre Odisha.

According to an order issued by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) on Wednesday (October 7, 2026), the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) has approved the proposal for his premature repatriation to the parent cadre with provision of an extended cooling-off period.

Harshad has been serving as Deputy Secretary in MoHUA since March 2025. His central deputation was originally scheduled to continue until July 11, 2029.

He had joined central deputation on July 11, 2024, for a five-year tenure as Private Secretary to the Minister for Tribal Affairs, Jual Oram. His tenure as Private Secretary was curtailed on February 28, 2025, following which he was shifted to the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs as Deputy Secretary.

HC issues contempt notice to Punjab CS K A P Sinha in employees’ DA arrears case

Punjab's DA arrears case

In a legal twist to the DA arrears case, the Punjab and Haryana High Court on Tuesday issued a contempt notice to Punjab Chief Secretary (CS) K A P Sinha (IAS:1992:PB). The court has asked him why criminal contempt proceedings should not be initiated against him for making a “prima facie false statement” in a case over pending dearness allowance (DA) for state employees and pensioners.

A bench of Chief Justice Ashwani Kumar Mishra and Justice Rohit Kapoor has now directed the Chief Secretary to be present on Friday when the court would resume hearing.

The High Court is hearing pleas over non-compliance with its August 3 order, directing the Punjab govt to release all pending DA and dearness relief instalments to its employees and pensioners within a fortnight, at the rates paid to All India Services officers on the Central government pattern. The court had also directed that unpaid amounts would carry simple interest at six per cent a year if not paid on time.

The Punjab govt then filed a special leave petition in the Supreme Court on September 1, arguing that the HC’s direction to pay arrears, totaling around Rs 14,191 crore, in so short a period was constitutionally impossible.

The HC later detected defects in the Punjab govt’s appeal filed in the top court and asked the CS to remove them. The CS had stated that defects had been removed, but a report by the HC registry showed that defects remained unremoved. It contradicted the Chief Secretary’s stand, prompting the High Court to issue contempt notice.

Uttarakhand HC issues notices to Union and state govts seeking reply on violations in bureaucratic transfers

By

Uttarakhand High Court

The Uttarakhand High Court has issued notices to the Union and the state governments asking them to file counter affidavits within three weeks in a public interest litigation (PIL), alleging violation of Supreme Court directions and cadre rules in bureaucratic transfers in the state.

A bench of Chief Justice Manoj Kumar Gupta and Justice Subhash Upadhyay heard the petition on Monday. Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT), the Uttarakhand Chief Secretary and the principal secretaries of the personnel, home and forest departments have been named as respondents in the case.

The petition alleges that the transfers and postings of All India Services officers in the state have been carried out in violation of the apex court’s guidelines for over 12 years.

The petition also alleges that the state govt has failed to exercise its rights under the All India Services (Conduct) Rules, 1968, to seek details of movable and immovable assets from IAS, IPS and IFoS officers.

The petition is virtually based on the Supreme Court’s October 31, 2013 judgment, directing the respective govts to establish Civil Services Boards to advise on transfers and postings and provide tenure stability to civil servants.

The court was told that the DoPT had amended the IAS, IPS and IFoS cadre rules on January 28, 2014, providing for a minimum two-year tenure for cadre posts and Civil Services Boards to recommend appointments and transfers before completion of the prescribed tenure.

The petitioner alleged that most of the transfers of IAS, IPS and IFoS officers were made without the board’s recommendation, although Uttarakhand constituted Civil Services Boards in 2014.

The plea alleges that several IAS transfers were carried out on oral directions from “higher levels”, followed by ex post facto approval from the Chief Minister.

The petition says a Civil Services Board was proposed for IPS officers too, but the proposal was deferred. The home department subsequently routed postings through the Police Establishment Board, it alleges.

The petition says proposals for the IFoS were placed before the board, but reasons for transfers were generally not recorded. The petition alleges that the board mechanically approved transfer lists that had been decided.
