norway establishes The Special Unit for Police Affairs (SUPA)for dealing with police misconduct cases.

 

newyork  reports police misconduct to a monitoring commission.

Disciplinary procedure like any Govt employee.  It is generally udnerstood that unlike other departments police is not very charitable to its employee if a disciplinary complaint is received and authroities are at times ruthless.

what does this mean? it will be better to have a court procedure like a common man than to do disciplinary procedure. btw what is that Disciplinary procedure? it in nothing but suspension from duty for say 2 or 3 months. it is like a holiday for those man eating , smelly monsters who kill innocent people in encounter and tag them as terrorist.

 

what happened in recent police recruitment training in  maidan, kolkata? two young handsome healthy men , one from kuchbihar another from bihar, died in heat stroke only because police  did not send them to hospital timely. the police later threatens the relatives of those candidates that if postmortem is done, there will be difficulty in getting the body. in this way those monsters of politicians  harrass people and get away with for lack of court procedure.

 

if today a police officer got fired for the  wrong deed he did, how many police officer will dare to think of doing that again?

 

just think.................

If you do not know what is disciplinary proceeding then nothing can be said.  You mean it is only suspension.  It leads to even dismissal and other lesser punishments which generally result in ruining or even denting the career.  Even if exhonerated it is worst nightmare for any Govt official more so if he happens to be policeman.

look there may be  punishments like dismissal, exhonorment for govt. official but how many officials face those things? they are punished that way when they go against their master i.e. corrupt politicians. can you cite an example where a police officer is dismissed from his job because he misbehave with a common man? the example should be as close to present time as possible.

 

thank you...

some have been jailed as well

arnab banerjee (nil)     21 August 2012

they might go against corrupt political leader. thats why, not for common people.

Sudhir Kumar, Advocate (Advocate)     21 August 2012

arnab banerjee (nil)     21 August 2012

sir i saw cause list of central administrative tribunal. i notice a very peculier fact. most of the cases in causelist are against either post office, ministry of defence, railways(most)etc. very few cases are against delhi police.

now two possible conclusion can be drawn from this observation.

1. police service is sooo good that people don't have any grievences against them.


2. people are so afraid of delhi police that they do not lodge many complaint against them.


which one of the above conclusion is true? 

Democratic Indian (n/a)     22 August 2012

Actual reason is that most of the police service employees find their jobs so lucrative(thus satisfying) they feel no practical need to rock the boat and complain about their service matters to Central Administrative Tribunal. It is rumored that in many states, police posts have a price tag and auctioned to the highest bidders. It is also rumored that "orders" are sent from highest offices of the states(sometimes even from CM's office) to police stations to collect monthly quota of money as "fines" etc. from people to meet "targets". There cannot be smoke without fire. When fish is swimming in water can you stop it from drinking water?

the point is that if police are prosecuted on open court like common man it would be a better check on them. police prosecution should be done on fast track court and the punishment of any violence by police on any common man could be total retrenchment .

Sudhir Kumar, Advocate (Advocate)     22 August 2012

If you know any special court where criminal proceedings against policeman are held seperately.  Then kinldy enlighten the forum.

 

Departmental proceedings are never held in public in any department there is no provision. Police is no exception.  It is never held in public even if the department is more corrupt than police.

 

Generally police is not considered to a a very good employer.

what about crown prosecution  service of britain? it  prosecutes criminal cases against common people and at the same time prosecutes police officers if criminal charge is found against them.

 

it is a non ministrial service which means ministers/politicians have no control on it. in india our departmental procedure is much affected by politicians.

 

if britain can do, why can't we?

 

this is a link to crown prosecution service:

our system is no different that what you describe as crown prosecution  service of britain.  Better study it.
