* Court declines to modify directions on police reforms* http://www.hindu.com/2007/01/12/stories/2007011204861300.htm the hindu 12/01/07* * Legal Correspondent New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Thursday dismissed the applications filed by States seeking a review or modification of its September 22, 2006 directions on implementation of police reforms. A Bench comprising Chief Justice Y.K. Sabharwal and Justices C.K. Thakker and R.V. Raveendran turned down the argument that most of the directions could not be implemented because of practical difficulties. It told counsel for the States and the Centre that the matter had been argued at length and every aspect taken into consideration before the directions were issued. Various committees suggested reforms and were pending consideration for over a decade by the apex court. A beginning had to be made for bringing about police reforms. The Bench said the directions on setting up Central and State Security Commissions and a fixed tenure for the Director-General of Police and other senior officers must be implemented within four weeks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Ours is a battle not for wealth or for power.
