Days after the Supreme Court gave the go-ahead for the appointment of Chief Vigilance Commissioner and a Vigilance Commissioner, Union Minister of State for Personnel Jitendra Singh on Monday said the top vacancies would be filled soon.
Mr. Singh told reporters that the process for appointments would be completed soon.
The apex court had last week given its approval for the appointments asking the government to ensure transparency by providing the high-powered selection committee headed by the Prime Minister with names and details of all 130 applicants and not just of those shortlisted by a scrutiny panel of three senior bureaucrats.
Keeping in view the urgency and importance of the appointments, a bench led by Chief Justice of India H.L. Dattu passed the order.
The key posts fell vacant last September after CVC Pradeep Kumar and Vigilance Commissioner J.M. Garg completed their terms.
