More superintendence over CBI not needed: CVC

Update: 2015-06-22 00:21 GMT
There is no need for increased superintendence over the CBI in the aftermath of allegations against its former Director Ranjit Sinha meeting the accused in coal blocks allocation and 2G scam cases, Central Vigilance Commissioner KV Chowdary said on Sunday. His views assume significance as the Supreme Court has been seeking CVC’s assistance in various cases being probed by the CBI. There have also been instances of differences of opinion between CBI and CVC over closure coal blocks cases. “There is already superintendence over them by the CVC. There is no need for further superintendence. As and when the need arises or <g data-gr-id="17">as</g> per the direction of the Supreme Court, we do it (exercise superintendence),” Chowdary said.  He said the CBI is performing duties mandated to it under the law with the help of professional officers. “It has good officers. There have been good cases done by the agency also,” the CVC said.
