SupremeCourt hears contempt petition over alleged non compliance with Court's direction to progressively reduce deputation posts in CAPF cadres.

Bench: Justice Ujjal Bhuyan and Justice Atul Chandurkar.

ASG Aishwarya Bhati: there are writ petitions also which have challenged the subsequent CAPF Act. Those writ petitions may also be tagged with this. They were listed today too.

J Bhuyan: how can we? Those petitions have to be assigned to this bench. On our own we can't do that.

Bhati: our main defence is the Act.
