Expert panel under CVC to be constituted

January 01, 2015 08:33 pm | Updated 08:33 pm IST - NEW DELHI

The Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) has invited applications for constituting Committee of Experts on corruption charges. The panel will scrutinise requests from ministries and departments for review of its advice on prosecuting officers facing charges.

Persons fulfilling eligibility conditions have been asked to submit applications by January 19.

The CVC is mandated to tender advice in respect of officers in cases where investigating agencies seek sanction for their prosecution under the Prevention of Corruption Act. Sometimes, the department/ministry concerned refers the cases back to the CVC for reconsideration.

“Hence, to examine such proposals and to assist the CVC in arriving at a conclusion, the expert committee is being constituted on the guidelines issued by the Department of Personnel and Training,” said an official.
