of charge sheets filed, number of source information reports (SIRs) generated, number of case diaries completed, and whether all processes as mentioned in the

review
will
also
record whether formalities
such
as seeking prosecution sanction, expert opinions and proper marking of evidence are being done, the people cited above added. Another important objective of the monthly
review
is to prevent
corruption
and opportunities for
corruption
, the people said. In January, four agency officers including two deputy superintendents were arrested for weakening the agency’s investigation in bank fraud
cases
in lieu of huge bribes. The current quarterly reviews are carried out in all
CBI
branches and reviewed by the head of branches/zones. The decision to institute a monthly
review
has been taken by interim
CBI
director
Praveen Sinha, who, according to one of the officers cited above, felt the pendency in
CBI
needs to be brought down. To be sure, the monthly
review
is separate from ACRs (annual confidential reports) prepared annually for all government employees. According to the Central Vigilance Commission’s (CVC’s) annual report 2019,

till December 2019. In its updated
Crime
Manual in December 2020,
CBI
stated that investigations in a majority of
corruption
cases
will be completed within nine months. The manual stated that the existing one-year deadline in

cases
will apply only in
cases
where a high ranking government official
such
as a joint secretary or secretary is accused, and the probe is being supervised by an officer of additional

rank or above in

when he was the additional

thoroughly doing their work,” said a

officer. Former

joint
director
NR Wassan said, “Earlier there used to be a bi-monthly
review
of every
CBI
branch but it was quite taxing. It has to be seen how so many
IOs
will be reviewed every month. If the SPs (Superintendents of Police) and DIGs (Deputy Inspector Generals) do the
review
properly,
such
reviews always help.
