Police Firing & Concept of Sovereign Responsibility

The emergence of Indian autonomy changed the political system, but its pilgrim underpinnings like the Police remained retained by the government. Policing actions today urgently require paradigm shift from current method of policing to law-based policing, conform to standards of accountability, and the global standards of the shifting globalized world. UN Code of Conduct for Enforcement Officers requires that 'In performing of their duties, law enforcement authorities shall honor and uphold human poise and preserve the human rights of all persons. The need for reform is especially strong because, following large changes in government, the age-old Police Act of 1861 continues to regulate the police. Given the severity of the issue and the utter uncertainty with regard to when police reforms should be made, it is high-time that light be thrown on the issue by academic writings.
