Haryana cadre IPS officer Prabhat Ranjan Deo has challenged in the Delhi
HC the appointment of Manoj Yadava as the state DGP, claiming that the Supreme
Court’s directions regarding selection, appointment, and tenure of service of
DGPs were “not being followedâ€. Deo's petition has sought the quashing of the recommendation and
empanelment of Yadava by the UPSC and his appointment by a February 18 order of
the State government. Justice Suresh Kait, hearing the petition, sought certain clarifications
from the UPSC and the Haryana government and listed the matter for April 11. Deo, represented by advocate Ajit Kumar Sinha and Ashwarya Sinha, said
he was not even considered for promotion to the post even though he has a
“blemishless recordâ€. He added he was awarded the police medal for meritorious
service in 2006 and President’s police medal for distinguished service in 2013.
