The Supreme Court granted the Jharkhand government a week's time to respond to legal challenges against the 'ad hoc' appointment of acting Director General of Police (DGP) Anurag Gupta.
A plea, filed by Naresh Makani, claims the state's actions disobeyed a previous court order regarding police appointments.
The case will return to the courts on October 21, 2024, with allegations that the appointment was politically orchestrated and violated legal precedents.
