India's rapid economic growth should be accompanied by urgent police reforms to address political interference, tackle new-age crimes, and restore public trust in the system

The need of the hour

India, with its rich history and vibrant democratic structure, stands on the cusp of becoming a global powerhouse. Its economic momentum continues, ranking as the fastest-growing large economy globally and securing the fifth position in global economic ranking. However, as the nation strides towards economic development, the question of police reform looms large. Policing in India remains a vestige of colonial administration, and despite several recommendations and Supreme Court's judgement, the much-needed reform has been elusive. A developed India, striving to protect the rights of all citizens and maintain public order, must overhaul its policing system. The Supreme Court's 2006 landmark judgement, the role of technology and the need for inclusive, community-oriented and human rights-centred policing are all pivotal in re-imagining India's police force.

The Supreme Court of India, in its landmark 2006 judgement, laid down a series of directives aimed at reforming the police force. The judgement was based on recommendations from several commissions, including the National Police Commission, which recognised the systemic issues plaguing Indian policing - political interference, lack of autonomy, and poor training standards. The Court, through Prakash Singh vs. Union of India case, directed the government to implement several key reforms, such as establishing a Police Complaints Authority, ensuring a fixed tenure for police officers, and separating the investigation and law-and-order functions.
