The Supreme Court expressed its displeasure over the Centre's casual approach to installing CCTVs in all police stations across the country.
The court summoned the Union home secretary to appear personally after noting a lack of coordination between the Centre, states, and union territories in implementing the court's 2021 judgment.
The judgment directed CCTVs to be installed at all entry and exit points, main gate of the police station, and other areas.
Senior advocate Siddharth Dave, assisting the court as amicus, submitted a report stating that the Centre's participation was 'ineffective and disappointing.'
The court observed, 'You bring your home secretary. It seems he is not listening to what you say.'
The bench asked the Attorney General to resolve the matter within two weeks and to work out modalities for resolving issues arising in the implementation of the court's judgment.
