Police reforms: States to seek more time

Hi Friends
In view of the states not being able to meet the Supreme Court’s deadline for implementing its order on police reforms, which expires tomorrow, they have decided to seek some more time for it.
A decision to this effect was taken at a meeting convened by Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil and attended by Chief Ministers and Home Ministers of various states here.
It was decided that states would file separate affidavits before the apex court detailing steps taken so far with regard to police reforms and also put forth their views on making certain amends as suggested by the court in the September 22, 2006, order, sources said.
The Centre will also file an affidavit on behalf of Union Territories, directly under its administrative control.
So, justice will come late, but it has to come...
