Supreme Court wants affidavit on IPS postings in CAPFs, continues oversight of 2025 judgment
In an affidavit, the Union Home Secretary had informed the court that 46 IPS officers have been brought on deputation to the CAPFs up to the SAG level after the court’s 2025 judgment
The Supreme Court has issued an order seeking an affidavit from Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan regarding the procedure followed for bringing Indian Police Service (IPS) officers on deputation to the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs). The court is monitoring the implementation of its May 23, 2025, judgment, which directed a progressive reduction of IPS deputation posts in CAPFs up to the Senior Administrative Grade level.
A total of 46 IPS officers have been brought on deputation to the CAPFs up to the Senior Administrative Grade level, with the Border Security Force receiving the highest number of officers. The government enacted the CAPFs (General Administration) Act, 2026 to circumvent the 2025 judgment, but seven petitions challenging the legislation have been filed and are set to be heard by the Supreme Court on November 18.
