Gurdaspur, August 23: The National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC) has asked the Punjab government to review the case of promotion of Davinder Kumar Sidhu, AIG (Jails), and consider him to be an officer holding the rank of IG since 2007.
The commission, in its order dated August 2, has asked the Additional Chief Secretary (Home Affairs and Justice, Jail Branch) and ADGP (Prisons) IPS Sahota to take action and submit a reply within 30 days.
Sidhu had petitioned the panel in 2012 claiming that he was being discriminated against and that officers junior to him were promoted.
