The CBI has written today to the government expressing its unhappiness over various issues related to Lokpal saying many of the clauses would sternly impair the functioning of the investigating agency.
In its letter to the Department of Personnel and Training, the CBI said the projected move to make preliminary enquiry by Lokpal mandatory before giving cases to CBI will “severely impair” efficiency of the agency in anti- corruption cases as it would lose the “surprise element” to carry out investigate operations, sources in the agency have told.
According to the letter, the agency at present congregates information from various sources and plans and implement a search operation to collect documents and evidence but if the preliminary enquiry by Lokpal is made obligatory and if the suggestions would be put into operation the agency will lose the “surprise element” to carry out such operations.
The agency also mention lack of keenness about the recommendations of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Lokpal Bill that all complaints of corruption cases which are in the nature other than trap cases shall first be scrutinised by Lokpal by holding a PE.
A PE is conducted only when the available information or complaint about serious delinquency on the part of a public servant is not enough to justify registration of a regular case.
