💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court has closed a petition challenging the 2021 appointment of Rakesh Asthana as Delhi Police Commissioner, as he has retired. The court left open the question of whether guidelines for DGP appointments in states are applicable to Delhi's commissioner. The court emphasized the need for exceptional officers in certain situations and noted that hard and fast criteria might be detrimental to public interest.
