The Bench will hear the case of September 16
The Delhi High Court on Wednesday allowed more time to the Centre to submit its response to a petition challenging the appointment of Gujarat-cadre IPS officer Rakesh Asthana as Delhi Police Commissioner. A Bench of Chief Justice D.N. Patel and Justice Jyoti Singh permitted Solicitor General Tushar Mehta’s plea for more time. The High Court will hear the case on September 16. The High Court issued a fresh notice to the IPS officer as it was not served to him due to want of payment of process fee by the petitioner.More Related News
