The Supreme Court has dismissed a plea seeking a direction to the Centre to set up a national level agency to deal with organised crimes like smuggling, inter-state trafficking, cyber crimes and political violence. The plea had also sought setting up of a National Internal Security Coordination Council (NISCC) under the control of a committee constituted by the President on the recommendation of the Chief Justice of India.
The petition came up for hearing before a bench headed by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud which said directions sought in the plea pertained to the legislative and policy domain.
