CORRUPTION CASES ARE PENDING AGAINST 276 EMPLOYEES AND OFFICERS IN THE STATE WHERE DELIBERATE DECISION OF THE COMPETENT SANCTIONING AUTHORITY, WAS PROPOSED FOR CHANGE OF STATUS.

No form or set of words have been prescribed in the Prevention of corruption Act, 1947 for sanction to prosecution. The sanction, however, represents a deliberate decision of the competent sanctioning authority. The courts expect that a sanction should ex-facie indicate that the sanctioning authority had before it all relevant facts on the basis of which prosecution was proposed to be launched and had applied its mind independently to all the facts and circumstances of the case before according its sanction. It is thought permissible to prove by evidence that the competent authority had applied its mind to the facts of the case, yet to avoid delays and expense and for the sake of convenience and uniformity of practice, two standard forms are given in Appendix-ll of the vigilance manual, which may be used with due changes. The vigilance officers in the departments shall give necessary assistance to the Heads of Departments in the performance of their duties, Ensuring compliance with other directives issued by the Government and too ensuring that the departmental enquiries and the vigilance cases are completed expeditiously and punishments are adequate. Further it is mentioned here that corruption cases are pending against 276 employees and officers who figures in the list of defaulters and action is required to be taken against them in the several courts, as well as by the vigilance, police and CBI. The departments have been required to prepare a list of the such  employees involved in the criminal cases or the departmental proceedings are lying pending in the courts or at the levels of the departments or who have been acquitted on technical grounds with reasonable suspicion about their trial course of action experienced by the code of conduct for these officers, and reported by the opinion between the vigilance department and administrative department, as per the procedure made in this behalf.
