After lot of
hue and cry over hiding details of the culprits against whom permission for open
inquiry has been asked for , Anti Corruption
Bureau (ACB) of Maharashtra has once again uploaded said details on its website.
After
receiving complaints against any public servant for alleged corruption, benami
properties, misappropriation of funds etc., ACB first conducts discreet inquiry
and if found complaint is true then it goes for open inquiry .For open inquiry
ACB has to seek government’s permission. However as the persons involved in
such case are always high profile bureaucrats and ministers, government is always
reluctant to give such permission. If we
look at the list of ministries involved from whom ACB has sought permission,
one can easily say that entire ministry of Maharashtra is involved in it.
It was alleged that, that’s why ACB had taken lenient stand on disclosing
Identities of culprits.
ACB on its website regularly uploads, Daily Crime Report & Misconduct cases
registered by it, information related to cases pending for permission of Open
Enquiry with Govt, information on cases pending for trial in various Special
Courts in Maharashtra, Cases decided by various Special Court in Maharashtra
etc. However when in last week some news
papers reported the matter and status of permission of open inquiry, Initially
ACB removed list of persons against whom it had asked for permission of open Inquiry.
After inquiry from media persons and others ACB once again uploaded the list
but without designations and clear names of culprits, so that their identity
should not be revealed easily. When this act of ACB was criticized by all
factors of the society it has now once again uploaded the detailed list on its
website. You can see the list here.
