Chopra has mentioned in the letter that according to the Constitution of India, the executive is responsible for the implementation of the decision of the Supreme Court. Both these decisions pertain to the executive. Therefore, this decision of public interest litigation has not been implemented deliberately by the executive to protect itself. Whereas such decisions, in which the executive gets authority and power, adopts double standards by implementing such decisions immediately. Which is unconstitutional and illegal. For power and power, a strong alliance of public representatives and administrative officers has been formed.

Chopra pointed out that in July 2018, the Supreme Court clarified that all states would send their proposals to the UPSC in anticipation of vacancies at least three months before the date of retirement of the incumbent to the post of Director General of Police. The state will immediately appoint one person from the panel prepared by UPSC. No state would ever imagine the idea of appointing a person to the post of DGP on the basis of acting as there is no respect for the acting Director General of Police. However, many states passed laws or executive orders to bypass the empanelment process of UPSC.
Chopra has requested through a letter that instructions should be given to all the responsible officers to treat my application as a petition and complaint.
