NDTV
Delhi Police Commissioner Rakesh Asthana, a 1984-batch IPS officer, was appointed as the Delhi Police Commissioner on July 27. His appointment came just days before his superannuation on July 31.
A lawyer who has filed a contempt action plea in the Supreme Court against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah for appointing Rakesh Asthana as the Delhi Police chief has sought an urgent hearing of his petition. The Supreme Court today told lawyer ML Sharma that his petition will be listed for hearing if the registry has accorded a number to it. "I have filed a contempt petition against the appointment of Rakesh Asthana," ML Sharma said. "If it is numbered, we will post it for hearing," a bench headed by Chief Justice NV Ramana told the lawyer.More Related News
