CVC Expresses Concern Over CBI Case Pendency
The CVC, which watches over government agencies, is worried about delays in the CBI, a major investigative body.
They found that many cases against CBI officers are taking too long to resolve, some over four years.
Also, it's taking too long to get permission to prosecute officials accused of corruption.
The CVC wants these problems fixed quickly to ensure fair investigations and maintain the CBI's reputation.
CVC highlights concerns about CBI case pendency in its 2024 Annual Report.
60 departmental cases against CBI officers were pending as of December 31, 2024.
22 cases against CBI officers have been unresolved for over four years.
CVC notes delays in granting sanctions to prosecute corrupt officials.
As of end of 2024, 200 cases were pending sanction for prosecution.
