Chief Standing Counsel for State/respondents Hon’ble Barin Ghosh, C.J. Hon’ble V.K. Bist, J. Date of Decision: 06.12.2010 Barin Ghosh, C.J. (Oral) The writ petition seeks establishment of District Level Police Complaint Authorities. Such a direction was given by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Prakash Singh & others Vs Union of India & others, reported in 2006(3) SCC (Cri) 417, but the said direction was to continue until the State of Uttarakhand has framed appropriate legislation. The State Government framed appropriate legislation on 4th January, 2008. The writ petition was filed subsequent thereto pointing out that such District Level Police Complaint Authorities have not been established by the Government. 2. The direction contained in the judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court, being limited for the period until legislation framed by the State of Uttarakhand, we are unable to issue a direction, as has been sought for herein. However, it shall be open to take such suitable remedies as are available for the purpose of obtaining District Level Police Complaint Authorities. 3. The writ petition is disposed of with the observations as above. (V.K. Bist, J.) (Barin Ghosh, C.J.) 06.12.2010 Aswal/Rdang
