A bench headed by Chief Justice SH Kapadia observed today that."without looking into the file, we are concerned that if a person is an accused in a criminal case how will he function as CVC." Bench made this observation after attorney general GE Vahanvati placed records of documents pertaining to Thomas appointment in a sealed cover. The name of Thomas figures in a charge sheet filed in a palmoleine export case.
The Congress Govt makes high claims on zero tolerance on corruption and yet it appoints, ignoring objections of Leader of Opposition, Thomas as CVC. Any person having any direct or indirect taint should not be appointed on constitutional posts. It sends wrong signals. The Govt has compromised the credibility of the institution of CVC. CBI has already lost the confidence of the people. How the people of India will be expected to believe that the Govt is sincere on the issue of corruption when it says something but does something opposite to that.
