महाराष्ट्र शासन राजपत्र असाधारण भाग आठ, मार्च २५, २०२३/चैत्र ४, शके १९४५ ३STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS.
Section 7 of the Maharashtra Police Act (XXII of 1951) provides for the appointment of Commissioner of Police for Brihan Mumbai or for any other area and also Additional Commissioners of Police and Joint Commissioners of Police for any of such areas.
2 . With the progressively changing and expanding concept of the duties and functions of the welfare State and consequently of the Police Force, it has become necessary to bring about certain changes in the existing provisions of the Maharashtra Police Act, so as to enable Government as well as the Police Force to effectively exercise its powers and perform its functions under the Act. Therefore, one post in the grade of Additional Director General of Police has been made available as Special Commissioner of Police on the establishment of Commissioner of Police, Brihan Mumbai vide Government Resolution, Home Department, No. IPS-2022/C.R.437/ Pol-l, dated the 4th January 2023, by the State Government for Brihan Mumbai. For that purpose, the Government considers it expedient to amend the Maharashtra Police Act for making statutory provisions by inserting the reference of the said post in the Act.
3 . As the name of " Greater Bombay " is changed as " Brihan Mumbai " by the Maharashtra Act No. XXV of 1996 with effect from 4th September 1996, the opportunity has also been taken to substitute the term " Greater Bombay " as " Brihan Mumbai " throughout the said Act. The Government, therefore considers it expedient to amend the Maharashtra Police Act, suitably.
4 . The Bill seeks to achieve the above objectives.
