Q135 (CISF/2023) Polity & Governance › Constitutional & Statutory Bodies

In which one of the following cases did the Supreme Court give directions that statutory status should be conferred upon the Central Vigilance Commission ?

Explanation

The Supreme Court of India, in the landmark case of Vineet Narain & Others v. Union of India & Another (1997), popularly known as the Hawala Case, issued several directives to ensure the independence and accountability of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC).

The Court observed that the CVC, which was then an executive body created by a 1964 resolution, needed a stronger legal footing to supervise the functioning of the CBI effectively. Consequently, the Court directed the Union Government to confer statutory status upon the CVC. Following this judgment, the CVC Ordinance was promulgated in 1998, which eventually culminated in the enactment of the Central Vigilance Commission Act, 2003.
