New Delhi (18.08.2022): The Supreme Court of India issued a notice on a PIL to quash the order of the Sikkim Government giving A Sudhakar Rao (IPS:1989:SK) additional charge of Sikkim DGP. It was argued that the Sikkim Government has not complied with the directions issued by the apex Court in the case of Prakash Singh Vs. Union of India. The appointment is alleged to be not in compliance with the Supreme Court's order as Rao was trapped by CBI on a complaint from two of his junior officers that he was asking for a bribe from a senior United India Insurance official. The plea submitted that in the departmental inquiry Rao was found guilty and the matter was sent to the Ministry of Home Affairs for taking action and the decision of MHA/UPSC (Union Public Service Commission) and action is awaited.
