Ex-Ktaka DGP Bidari moves SC for reinstatement
May 31, 2012  17:22

Former Karnataka DGP S M Bidari today moved the Supreme Court seeking his reinstatement as state police chief, the appointment for which had been quashed by the Central Administrative Tribunal.

 

A bench of justices K S Radhakrishnan and J S Khehar, however, recused themselves from hearing the plea and ordered its listing before a different bench.

 

Bidari approached the apex court challenging Karnataka High Court's order which had held that Bidari's empanelment for the post of state police chief was vitiated as the state government had not placed before the empanelling authority the report of the NHRC's panel on atrocities committed by the Special Task Force, headed by Bidari during the operation to arrest elusive forest brigand Veerappan.
