Sanjay Kundu (IPS:1989:HP) has once again approached the Supreme Court after the Himachal Pradesh High Court dismissed his application seeking the recall of its order instructing the state government to transfer him from the position of the state Director-General of Police (DGP).

The Himachal Pradesh High Court, on December 26, 2023, directed the government to reassign Kundu and Kangra Superintendent of Police Shalini Agnihotri (IPS:2012:HP) from their respective posts to ensure an impartial investigation into a complaint filed by Palampur-based businessman Nishant Sharma regarding a threat to his life.

This directive was temporarily halted by the Supreme Court on January 3. The apex court observed that the High Court was scheduled to reconsider the matter on January 4 and suggested that Kundu could submit an application to the High Court requesting the recall of the December 26 order. Kundu pursued this course, but the High Court rejected his petition on January 9.
