casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: Prakash Singh v. Union of India (WP(C) 310/1996) Hearing Date: 29 May 2026 Outcome: The Court allowed the application for withdrawal of interlocutory applications (IA Nos. 85514/2026 and 84684/2026), which were accordingly dismissed as withdrawn. IA No. 159602/2026 (application for withdrawal) was taken on board and allowed. The Court also noted on record Karnataka's compliance with the direction to appoint a regular Director General of Police (DGP) based on UPSC recommendations, which had inadvertently been omitted from the previous order dated 12 March 2026. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
