CBI: POLITICAL MUDDLES

CBI has Recorded its Lowest Conviction Rate in 2009; What’s the Way Forward?
 
The government can learn from how the Election Commission of India was established in 1950 under Article 324. Once set up, India has seen many time periods that have witnessed massive friction between the powers that be and the election commissioners – with T. N. Seshan being the most noteworthy of them all, who ensured that the government understood the Commission’s superiority.

In other words, not only is it required that the government constitutionalise CBI, but also that it gives away the power to recruit the head of CBI in a manner that does not make it a mockery (akin to what has happened with the Central Vigilance Commission, where the top appointments have become politicised).
