Justice Hosbet Suresh, the retired Bombay High Court Judge, has advocated for giving more power to all the constitutional and statutory bodies like CAG and inquiry commissions.
'Statutory bodies like CAG and Commissions should have more than recommendatory powers, their recommendations should be made binding for Governments and these institutions should also have powers to take penal actions against defaulting governments or its departments,' said Justice Suresh while addressing media here on Sunday.
He was here on Sunday on an invitation from PUCL, Gujarat, to release a book on CAG reports.
