HC pulls up govt for failing to create civic police

MUMBAI: Bombay high court has pulled up the State government for failing to take a decision on creating a civic police force to register and probe complaints of unauthorised constructions even four years after announcing it. They directed the chief secretary to formulate a comprehensive policy to tackle the menace of unauthorised constructions.

A division bench of Justice Dhananjay Chanrachud and Justice Amjad Sayed on June 21, heard a public interest litigation by Harit Vasai Sanrakshan Samiti, which was initially filed regarding encroachments in Vasai-Virar belt. The PIL's scope was expanded to cover entire Thane district. When the court was informed that issue of civic police force is under consideration by the government, the judges referred to government's 2009 affidavit where it first spoke of a civic force, civic police station and special courts. They said even after 4 years no concrete steps have been taken on the ground.

"It appears that the proposal of creating a dedicated civic police force is still on the drawing board,'' they added. They also directed statutory bodies like MIDC, CIDCO, municipal corporations and councils to file their affidavits before the next hearing on July 26, 2013.
