Who Are the Beneficiaries From Ending Autonomous Institutions in India?
A.     Is ‘The nexus between the criminal gangs, police, bureaucracy and politicians’ not  the beneficiary by ending the ‘Autonomous Institutions in India’ as   ‘The nexus between the criminal gangs, police, bureaucracy and politicians has come out clearly in various parts of the country’ as it appears and  reported in India? 
B.      The rest hue and cry is a conspiracy of the nexus as being reported and experienced as usual in India.
C.      “The nexus between the criminal gangs, police, bureaucracy and politicians has come out clearly in various parts of the country’: The existing criminal justice system, which was essentially designed to deal with the individual offences/crimes, is unable to deal with the activities of the Mafia; the provisions of law in regard economic offences are weak; there are insurmountable legal difficulties in attaching/confiscation of the property acquired through Mafia activities”. An extract from VOHRA COMMITTEE REPORT.
D.     PRAYER: Only and last hope is left from the adequate, meaningful and effective approach of the Supreme Court of India now including for getting its (SC) orders implemented effectively and successfully.
1.      EXPLAINED: CBI war between Rakesh Asthana and Alok Verma: “Alok Kumar Verma was appointed as the CBI chief in January 2017 after being shortlisted from a list of 45 candidates. The committee that appointed him included Prime Minister Narendra Modi; Mallikarjun Kharge, Congress leader in Lok Sabha; and JS Khehar, the then Chief Justice of India”.
2.      Whereas, a 1984-cadre IPS officer, Rakesh Asthana was appointed as the special director of the CBI in October 2017. He is said to be close to Bharatiya Janata Party chief Amit Shah and Prime Minister Narendra Modi as both of them belong to Gujarat.
(i)                 The appointment of the Gujarat cadre officer had not gone down well with many. His appointment was even challenged in the court by senior lawyer Prashant Bhushan.
(ii)               He was a part of the Special Investigation Team that looked into the 2002 Godhra train burning case. He also investigated the fodder scam between 1994 to 2001 in which former Bihar chief minister, Lalu Prasad Yadav was convicted.
(iii)             According to Prashant Bhushan, he is not fit for the post as his name figures in the diary of Sterling Biotech, which is being investigated by CBI itself”. EXPLAINED: CBI war between Rakesh Asthana and Alok Verma: October 24, 2018 08:25 IST:  Extracts courtesy by:  Rediff. com
3.      Top 2 CBI officers 'divested of powers'; interim chief takes over: “Former officers of the agency on condition of anonymity said the situation is “unfortunate” and may affect cases related to the extradition of Vijay Mallya, Nirav Modi and Mehul Choksi.
(i)                 In the wake of corruption allegations against the top officials of the agency, the accused may also plead that charges against them could be motivated, they said.           
(ii)               Gujarat cadre IPS officer Asthana was in charge of the SIT handling sensitive cases, including those related to Vijay Mallya loan default case, Agusta Westland helicopter deal bribery case and alleged corruption in land acquisition in Haryana.           
(iii)                 Verma told the commission that Asthana’s role was under probe in at least six cases, including one related to the loan default by Gujarat-based Sterling Biotech”.

4.      How CBI plans to fight crimes:  “For the CBI, crimes are likely to become more innovative, complex, driven increasingly by technology and transcending geographical boundaries, said then CBI Director Anil Kumar Sinha
(i)                 Corruption is likely to remain a major impediment to growth. In 2014, India ranked 85 amongst 178 countries in the Corruption Perception Index. As per RBI data, the non-performing assets of banks have grown from around Rs 50,000 crores in 2007 to Rs 2.45 lakh crores in 2014. Over Rs 80,000 crores of public money pertaining to roughly six crores citizens is locked up in Ponzi schemes being investigated by the CBI.
(ii)               All these challenges will require a quantum leap in capacity of the CBI. In anticipation, we have proactively undertaken an exercise during the last few months and have drawn a road map for the future”.

5.      “Why does Modi want this cop, Rakesh Asthana as CBI boss? The government didn't call a meeting of the selection committee deliberately to facilitate the appointment of a junior officer to the post, the committee's Congress member told the PM. Amit Agnihotri/Business Standard reports.
(i)                 The Congress has attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi over Rakesh Asthana's appointment as interim director of the Central Bureau of Investigation, saying the PM wanted to rule by stealth, deception and pressure.
(ii)               "PM Modi is for rule by stealth, deception and pressure. He wants to keep everyone on tenterhooks so the officers do the government's bidding. He wants to keep a sword hanging over their heads," Congress spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi said. 
(iii)             The remarks came after Mallikarjun Kharge, the Congress Leader in the Lok Sabha, wrote a strongly worded letter to Modi against Asthana's appointment. Lawyer and activist Prashant Bhushan has already taken the matter to the Supreme Court.
(iv)             Terming the appointment, "Constitutionally, legally and morally wrong," Singhvi said, "Rules were thrown to the wind."
(v)               Kharge, who is the part of the panel which selects the CBI director in his capacity as leader of the largest Opposition party in the Lok Sabha, urged the PM in his letter dated December 5 to convene the meeting of the committee at the earliest to finalise a permanent CBI chief.
(vi)             Kharge charged the government did not call the meeting of the selection committee headed by the PM deliberately to facilitate the appointment of a junior officer to the post.
(vii)           'The entire process has been vitiated and being manipulated to pre-empt the decision to be arrived at in the meeting of the selection committee,' Kharge said in his letter to the PM. Besides the PM and Kharge, Chief Justice of India T S Thakur is a member of the panel.
(viii)         Asthana is a 1984 batch Indian Police Service officer and has replaced Anil Sinha who retired as CBI director on November 30.
(ix)              Kharge pointed out that the selection panel should have met in time to avoid any delay in the matter.
(x)                He also referred to the sudden transfer of R K Dutta, who was in the line of succession to be the next CBI chief just three days before Sinha retired.
(xi)              Sources said Dutta, who has been moved to the home ministry as special secretary, was looking after two high profile corruption cases related to allocation of coal mines and 2G Spectrum during the previous government.
(xii)            The Supreme Court, the sources pointed out, had ordered that no officers connected with the two cases should be removed.
(xiii)          "All this has been done to make the CBI even a more pliant tool in the hands of the government," said Singhvi.
(xiv)          According to the Congress spokesperson, also a senior Supreme Court lawyer, "similar tactics were adopted by Prime Minister Modi earlier in the appointment of the ED (Enforcement Directorate) director."
(xv)            In October 2015, the Centre appointed Girish Chandra Murmu as the director of the Enforcement Directorate.
(xvi)          A 1985 batch IAS officer, Murmu replaced the 1984 batch IPS officer Karnal Singh who was holding additional charge as ED director after the 1979 batch IAS officer Ranjan Katoch was removed from the post in August.
(xvii)        In August 2015, BJP leader Subramanian Swamy had urged Modi to appoint a full-time ED director alleging that the agency had given a clean chit to Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and Vice president Rahul Gandhi in a money laundering case related to now defunct newspaper National Herald”. Why does Modi want this cop, Rakesh Asthana as CBI boss? December 08, 2016 14:05 IST: Rediff. Com 
In view of the above reported and experienced facts, again here worth to pray that only and last hope is left from the adequate, meaningful and effective approach of the Supreme Court of India now including for getting its (SC) orders implemented effectively and successfully.
