More than 3,000 Group A cadre officers of the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) have petitioned the Supreme Court against the CAPF (General Administration) Act, 2026, calling it violative of Articles 14, 16 and 21 and of the separation of powers. The Act reserves 50% of Inspector General posts, at least 67% of Additional Director General posts and all Special DG and DG posts for IPS officers on deputation, and drops the 50% DIG quota for CAPF officers. Petitioners say it nullifies the 23 May 2025 ruling in Sanjay Prakash v. Union of India, which treated CAPF Group A cadres as organised services and ordered reduced IPS deputation; a review plea was dismissed on 28 October 2025.
