District Criminal Justice Coordination Committee

The District Criminal Justice Coordination Committees constitute another avenue to regulate instances of misconduct of police administration. A District and Sessions Judge heads this Committee, which has the responsibility to oversee the activities of police, subordinate courts and jails, and to take reasonable measures against their unlawful activities. The Committee convenes once a month and the report of the meeting is looked into by the High Court. It should be noted that this is an executive body and, as such, no public representation has been provided in the composition of the Committee. It lacks a direct public grievance redress focus and no rules have been formulated to make its proceedings public and accessible to ensure transparency and accountability.
