State Security Commission (SSC) and the Police Complaint Authority (PCA) that deals with the grievances of the public on abuse of power by
police personnel.These bodies are to be constituted as per guidelines framed by the Supreme Court in 2007 vide the Prakash Singh`s case

public at the state level.Retired district judges are eligible to hold the post of chairperson of PCAs at every district
headquarter.Advocate-General B.S
Prasad told the court that the government had forwarded names of some retired judges to the Registry of the HC on January 8 for its approval
