State
Vigilance Bureau has directed its field officers to initiate suitable legal
process against the hostile witnesses under section 182 of Cr.P.C. in vigilance
cases without waiting for the final court verdict.
This direction was issued by Mr Suresh
Arora, DGP-cum-Chief Director Vigilance Bureau (VB) Punjab in a state level meeting
with senior officers of Bureau held here at VB headquarters. Reviewing the
progress of various Ranges of Bureau he asked the officers to personally monitor
and make ensure that no officer or official of Bureau working under their
control should indulge in corrupt practices.
Mr Arora stressed upon for effective follow-up
(pairvi) of vigilance cases under trial in various courts and directed the
officers to initiate appropriate legal action against the witness and shadow
witness u/s 182 of Cr.P.C. if they turn hostile during the evidence trial. He instructed
that the court judgments should be perused thoroughly after acquittal of
accused and in case the acquittal was due to the fault of any officer/official
of the Bureau, then stern action should be taken against the delinquent
officer/official.
To curb the practice of bribery in
public dealing offices the Vigilance Chief asked the officers to identify
corrupt public servants so that preventive measures against tainted servants
could be initiated. Mr Arora also suggested the range officers to create
awareness in educational institutions under their respective jurisdiction
regarding anti-corruption measures initiated by the bureau and the need to curb
the menace of corruption from the society.
During the review meeting public complaints,
vigilance enquires, cases under investigation and under trial were also
discussed and necessary directions were passed to the concerned investigation
officers so as to ensure efficient and speedy disposal of the pending work.
