DrJitendra introduces 'landmark' parliament Amendment for appointment of CBI Director 11/25/2014 11:54:02 PM Early Time Report JAMMU, Nov 25: The Government today introduced in the LokSabha a historically "landmark" Bill to amend the Delhi Special Police Establishment Act, 1946 thereby paving the way for smooth appointment of new Director of CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation) in place of the present incumbent who is attaining superannuation on 2nd December. The Bill moved on behalf of the Government by DrJitendra Singh, Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER) and MoS in PMO provides for including leader of the single largest opposition party in the LokSabha as a member of the 3-Member Committee for appointment of the Director of CBI. The other two Members of the 3-Member Committee are Prime Minister of India and Chief Justice of India. The need for such a provision was prompted by the fact that in the 15th LokSabha, the Congress party, in spite of being the single largest party in the House, did not qualify to get its leader recognized as leader of the opposition because of its total tally of MPs being lower than the minimum number required as per the Constitution. Through this amendment, while on the one hand, leader of single largest opposition party namely the Congress will find a place in the Committee to select CBI Director, on the other hand, the process of the selection of the new Director for CBI will not be hindered on account of the absence of a constitutionally recognized leader of opposition in the LokSabha.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
