The Modi government has initiated a move to gain a greater say in Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) prosecutions by making the CBI’s chief prosecution officer “functionally independent” of his boss, the CBI director.<br /><br />The director of prosecution (DoP) is a government nominee, unlike the CBI chief, who is selected by a panel made up of the Prime Minister, head of the opposition and the Chief Justice of India.<br /><br />The latest development dilutes the effect of changes in the law made last year that ensured that the DoP, who decides if a case is fit for criminal prosecution, would have to function “under the overall supervision and control” of the CBI director.<br /><br /><br />Connect with us on Social platform at : http://www.facebook.com/newsxonline<br />Subscribe to our YouTube Channel : https://www.youtube.com/user/newsxlive<br />For More information on this news visit : http://www.newsx.com/
