Overview
- The Centre, through Attorney General R. Venkataramani, told the bench Tuesday it will resolve outstanding installation and monitoring issues within two weeks.
- Following Monday’s summons, Home Secretary Govind Mohan appeared, and the court set the next hearing for April 28 with fresh status reports expected.
- The bench rebuked the Centre for sending an under secretary to high‑level meetings and urged states to adopt Kerala’s live dashboard software instead of building separate systems.
- Venkataramani said he will hold regular meetings with the court’s amicus and relevant officials, noting the need for close coordination since policing is a state subject.
- The case builds on earlier Supreme Court mandates that require night‑vision cameras with audio‑video recording and at least one year of storage across key police‑station areas, with current oversight aimed at preventing cameras from being switched off.
