New Delhi, December 30: The Central Vigilance Commission has reconstituted a committee of experts for scrutiny of reconsideration of proposals received from CBI for getting prosecution sanction against tainted public servants.
The anti-corruption watchdog has also given an extension of two years for the eight-member Committee with effect from November one.
“Depending on the nature of the case, a committee consisting of three members including the chairperson shall examine the CBI recommendation and the tentative view of the Ministry or department concerned in greater detail.
“The Committee shall consist of two members drawn from the panel of experts and one of the Vigilance Commissioners in the Commission would chair the meeting. In the light of the expert committee’s recommendation, the CVC would render appropriate advice to the competent authority within 15 days of the meeting of the committee,” CVC said in a recent circular.
According to CVC, the meetings of the committee would be held in Delhi and the Commission would provide the required secretarial services along with necessary funds to meet the expenditure to be incurred regarding the meetings of the committee.
