Regulation 70-A MP Police Regulations | Out-of-Turn Promotion Mandated for Life-Threatening Rescue Beyond Duty Call: MP HC Jabalpur
The Madhya Pradesh High Court ruled that extraordinary gallantry in rescuing lives from a 200-foot gorge, even when outside official duty parameters, triggers mandatory out-of-turn promotion under Regulation 70-A. This sets a precedent for recognizing non-combat bravery as equivalent to wartime valor in police service promotions, affecting thousands of state police personnel eligible for similar recognition.
