Writ Petition (Civil) No. 310 Of 1996 With No. 417 Of 2010 | 10-01-2011

1. As regards the constitution of the State Security Commission, we find that the State of
Uttar Pradesh opted for Sorabjee Model in which inclusion of the serving/retired Judge is not
there. In order to make the Commission independent, we suggested to the learned counsel
appearing for the State of Uttar Pradesh to incorporate the serving/retired Judge into the State
Security Commission. The learned counsel for the State of Uttar Pradesh, on instructions,
states that to fall in line with other States, the State of Uttar Pradesh will have no objection to
the induction of serving/retired Judge in the State Security Commission based on the model
suggested by Sorabjee Committee.

2. Place these matters on 17-1-2011.

the review petitions filed by the various State Governments in this case in the course of the
week. The learned amicus curiae is required to prepare a chart and submit to this Court
indicating the points taken in the review petitions concerning empanelment and tenure for the
post of DGP.
