The Rajasthan Police (Amendment) Act, 2020

Criminal20206 sections

This law amends the Rajasthan Police Act of 2007 to update rules for hiring village guards in Rajasthan. It increases the upper age limit for recruitment from 30 to 40 years, allowing older applicants to join. The changes prioritize ex-servicemen, home guard volunteers, and local residents with basic education when selecting new guards. It also shortens the required training period from three years to two years and adds new responsibilities such as assisting with patrolling and other duties assigned by police officials. These updates aim to give police more flexibility in recruiting skilled personnel while clarifying disciplinary procedures and repealing any conflicting 2020 ordinance.
