The Kerala Police (Amendment) Act, 2018, is a legislative update to the Kerala Police Act, 2011. Its primary purpose is to streamline the administrative functioning of the State and District Authorities established under the principal Act. Specifically, it empowers the Chairperson or authorized members of these authorities to make decisions—either independently or jointly—on applications submitted to them. This amendment also includes a special provision to ensure these new decision-making powers apply to pending applications and matters currently before these authorities. Essentially, it improves operational efficiency by clarifying how these bodies process their workload, ensuring that administrative delays are minimized for citizens.
