GK and monthly revision
Over 3,000 serving CAPF officers move Supreme Court against CAPF Act
Over 3,000 serving CAPF officers, including gallantry awardees and women officers, have moved the Supreme Court challenging the CAPF Act. The new law makes it harder for CAPF cadre officers to be promoted to leadership positions and paves the way for more IPS officers on deputation in senior roles. This raises critical issues of cadre management, promotional equity, and constitutional rights of paramilitary personnel. The case is significant for exams covering internal security, governance, and constitutional law.
