The country's Chief Justice NV ramana has questioned the credibility of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) 's action and inaction in various cases. Allegations of corruption have tarnished the image of the police, the chief justice said. "Political representatives keep changing, but you will always be there."
This is the advice given by ramana to the Central Bureau of Investigation. He was addressing a lecture on "Democracy: The Role and Responsibility of Investigative Agencies.
It takes time to make the investigative machinery independent and autonomous, said Chief Justice NV Ramana. The same crime is being investigated by multiple agencies. "Once a case is registered, it is necessary to decide which agency will investigate it," he said. However, at present, the same case is being investigated by several agencies. Misuse of police by political parties is not a new phenomenon. However, the police are generally tasked with maintaining the rule of law and are an integral part of the justice system. Therefore, all institutions must adhere to and strengthen democratic values. No dictatorial tendencies should be allowed to grow.
Allegations of corruption have tarnished the image of the police. Often police officers come to us and complain that we are being harassed by the change of government. But you should keep in mind that the people's representatives change over time, but you are permanent, said the Chief Justice. police reform has been on the government's agenda for more than 50 years, but so far nothing concrete has been done, ramana said.
