Reforms in Courts and Police
"In 1912, an important decision was taken to separate the police and the court as a matter of principle. The services of Khan Bahadur Mohammad Sarwar were hired for supervising the police administration. Although this reform should have been done earlier, it could not happen for certain administrative reasons. Also, had it been done without meeting administrative requirements and addressing the fundamental issues, the process of reforms would have been incomplete.
In view of the conditions prevalent in the state it was required that the control of police should stay with Asrar Hasa Khan Naseer-ul-Maham. Now that all necessary requirements had been met and the affairs of state had been well taken care of by the good offices of Asrar Hasan Khan Naseer-ul-Maham and the police department had been created, it was time to separate the police and the judiciary for the sake of better dispensation with respect to administrative and judiciary matters."
