PMO Two Decades CVC Dysfunctional
Hon’ble Sir,
About two decades ago our apex anti corruption authority directed to alter the
status that system’s loopholes in our criminal justice system fail to punish the
corrupt officials, the then CVC issued a communication dated 1/12/1999
stipulating timely disciplinary in-house proceedings against employee’s alleged
of corruption*** irrespective of pending prosecution. {***event No. 3.-a}
I bring to your attention that, presently, we have a dysfunctional system , doubtful integrity

CENTRAL VIGILANCE COMMISSION
*****
Satarkta Bhawan, Block 'A',
GPO Complex, INA,
New Delhi- 110 023
Dated the 1st December 1999
One of the main weaknesses in the present system of vigilance is that the
corrupt public servants many a time escape punishment. Effective and prompt punishment of
the corrupt is a sin qua non to change the present atmosphere of cynical apathy in the
organisations under the purview of the CVC. There is a need to the issue of tackling
corruption to create a healthy atmosphere that corruption will not be tolerated.
2. There are two courses of action possible against the corrupt public servant.
The first is prosecution and the second is departmental action. So far as prosecution is
concerned, once the papers go to the court, there is no way in which the action can be
expedited. So far as departmental action is concerned, it is within the powers of the
disciplinary authorities to ensure that the punishment is effectively meted out. The CVC has
already issued instruction No. 8(1)(h)/98(1) dated 18.11.98 that the departmental proceedings
should be completed within a period of six months. In order to achieve this goal, the
engagement of retired honest persons as inquiry officers has also been suggested.
(i) In every organisation, those who are corrupt are well known. The
Disciplinary Authorities and the CVOs as well as those who are hurt by such
corrupt persons can arrange for traps against such public servants. The local
Police or CBI can be contacted for arranging the traps.
(ii) The CBI and the Police will complete the documentation after the traps within
a period of two months. They will make available legible, authorised
photocopies of all the documents to the disciplinary authority within two
months from the date of trap for action at their end.
(iii) Once the photocopies of the documents are received, the disciplinary authority
should initiate action to launch departmental inquiry. There will be no danger
of double jeopardy because the prosecution which will be launched by the
CBI or the Police based on the trap documents would relate to the criminal
Page 1 of 2
aspect of the case and the disciplinary proceedings will relate to the
misconduct under the Conduct, Discipline and Appeal Rules.
(iv) Retired, honest people may be appointed as special inquiry officers so that
within a period of two months, the inquiry against the corrupt pubic servants
involved in traps can be completed.
(vi) If and when the court judgement comes in the prosecution case, action to
implement the court decision may be taken appropriately.
5. The intention of the above instruction is to ensure that there is a sharp focus
on meting out effective punishment to the corrupt in every organisation. Once these
instructions are implemented, the atmosphere in organisations is bound to improve because
the corrupt will get the signal that they could not survive as in the past banking on the delays
taking place both in the departmental inquiry process as well as in the prosecution process.

1. Mr.Soni has contended that the Divisional Office has made a false allegation about
not responding to their repeated reminders in connection with his medi-claim.
2. He also made a complaint that in spite of being Senior most employee in the DO, he
was deprived of the functions of Cashier on the pretext that it was refused by him
earlier,
3. He also alleges that unnecessarily he has been issued charge sheet for his sick leave
though sufficient balance was to his credit.
On the basis of various allegations made by Mr.Soni, we had asked our VO to investigate
the matter and report to us. Accordingly the matter was invcstigaied by our VO. On
perusal of his report, we offer our para-wise comments on the various points raised by
Mr.Soni and the same are as under ;
3. Mr. Soni, was issued a Memorandum dated 13.2.2008,for his acts of unauthorized
absence, insubordination, leaving head quarter without permission of the superior and
for tamping with the medical certificate. A departmental inquiry was been instituted to
look into the charges framed against him.
In view of the findings of the VO it will be seen that the allegation made by Mr. Soni are
baseless and do not have vigilance angle. Therefore we are closing the case from
vigilance angle. This is for your information please.

2. It is further stated that as the complaint has been made under the said
resolution,the identity of the complainant has been kept secret.Therefore
this is not to be treated as an anonymous complaint. If the identity of the
complainant gets revealed at any time,the same may be kept secret.
Chennnai:- Neither the insurance company nor it’s agents are trustworthy
sources for a wide spectrum of people a study by industry body ASSOCHAM
found.
In a statement issued on Friday, ASSOCHAM said: “Among the first set of people
with no specific knowledge of insurance and finance and those who fall in the age
group of 18 to 60 years,72 per cent of those covered in the study said their
agent/sales person was the least trustworthy source in the sales process of an
insurance company.”
The second least trustworthy source in the sales process was the insurance
company itself, though the percentage on this count was much less at 29 per
cent.
