Law Relating to Central Armed Police Forces & AR (including leading case laws)

Book excerpt: The Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) — including CRPF, BSF, CISF, ITBP, and SSB — along with Assam Rifles (AR), are critical in maintaining India's internal security, law, order, and border defense. Their status as paramilitary forces, however, raises key legal questions about their authority, responsibilities, and structure. This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the laws and regulations governing the CAPFs and AR, covering constitutional provisions, statutory laws, service rules, disciplinary processes, and force courts. It also provides insights into judicial decisions that shape the legal framework for these forces. This book addresses the complex legal issues affecting the CAPFs and AR by examining case law, legislation, and policy documents. It is a valuable resource for legal professionals, CAPF & AR personnel, researchers, students, policymakers, and government officials.
