KOLKATA: The Delhi High Court is scheduled to hear on Tuesday the Union Public Service Commission's petition challenging the Central Administrative Tribunal's order directing the Mamata Banerjee government to complete the recruitment process of the new DGP by January 31.
Since the legal complications in the matter are ongoing, even as the state government had named Peeyush Pandey as Rajeev Kumar's successor, Pandey was appointed as an acting DGP, not as a permanent DGP.
All eyes will be on the proceedings in the matter at the Delhi High Court since the court's order will determine whether West Bengal will be going for the crucial Assembly elections later this year with an acting or permanent DGP.
