SC raps Modi government over lack of transparency in the appointment of CVC

New Delhi: The Supreme Court has expressed unhappiness over the procedure proposed by the government for the appointment of the Chief Vigilance and Vigilance Commissioners. The court has criticised the appointment procedure saying it lacks transparency.

The apex court said that the lack of a transparent procedure will deprive deserving candidates from getting a chance. The Attorney General has told court that no appointment will be made until the matter is in court.

The government had earlier proposed to go ahead with the appointments to statutory bodies even though there is no Leader of the Opposition as a member of the Selection Committee.
