The government has notified the CAPF Act, even as a legal challenge to the law remains pending before the Supreme Court, according to the available information.
Serving officers of the Central Armed Police Forces have challenged the legislation, which is expected to affect cadre management and the deputation of Indian Police Service officers to senior positions in the CAPFs.
The dispute centres on the impact of the law on the structure and administration of the forces. The matter is under judicial consideration.
