The state government has decided to post Assistant Inspector General of Police Y P Singh as commandant, State Reserve Police Force, Goregoan, according to reliable sources. The decision comes a day before a crucial hearing on his plea against his transfer in the Supreme Court on Friday.Singh, an IPS officer of the Maharashtra cadre, had challenged his transfer from the post of AIGP, administration, Mumbai, to the SRPF, Nagpur in May 1997.

He had moved the Supreme Court after the Bombay High Court rejected his petition. An order on his appeal to the SC is expected on Friday. Singh had alleged malafide intention behind his transfer from Mumbai headquarters to Nagpur, particularly against Deputy Chief Minister Gopinath Munde.
