Supreme Court rules that CAPF officers to be ‘organised services’ for all purposes
Indian Chronicle
|May 25, 2025
The Supreme Court on Friday (May 23, 2025) ruled that Group A officers of the Central Armed Police Force (CAPF) from batches dating back to 1986 are recognised as “Organised Services” for “all purposes”.
-
A Bench of Justice A.S. Oka and Justice Ujjal Bhuyan said in a judgment that the deputation posts of Indian Police Service (IPS) officers in the Senior Administrative Grade (SAG) or up to the rank of Inspector General (IG) in CAPFs should be “progressively reduced over a period of time, say within an outer limit of two years”. It was Justice Oka’s last day in office.
Friday's (May 23, 2025) judgment paves the way for service rules or recruitment rules to be amended, allowing all connected benefits of Organised Group A Services (OGAS) to CAPFs and cadre review within six months.
