Vigilance and CBI
,Various Anti Corruption
Bodies
Mere enacting Anti-Corruption Laws can not
curb corruption. Perfectly framed strong
machinery is essentially needed to enforce
and implement those laws effectively
Hence, certain Anti-Corruption Agencies are established
to enforce the Anti-Corruption Laws in India, like,
Central Vigilance Commission (CVC)
Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI)
Lokpal
Lokyukt and Uplokyukt
,Central Vigilance Commission (History and
Occurrence)
CVC was born in 1964, The CVC became answerable to the Nation as
the force that would halt official corruption.
In the midst of a World War-II, the government found it necessary to
create the Special Police Establishment (SPE) in 1941 through an
executive order.
SPE dealt with cases of bribery and corruption, mostly within the War
and Supply Department of the government.
In 1946, Parliament passed the Delhi Special Police Establishment Act
(DSPE Act), which replaced the SPE with the Delhi Special Police
Establishment (DSPE), gave it legal sanction, and switched its
superintendence from the War and Supply Department, to the Central
Government.
To be sure, the CVC was the apex anti-corruption body because it was
the only body dedicated purely to the fight against corruption.
, Powers and Functions of CVC
