Jharkhand Becomes Eighth State to Revoke General Consent to CBI to Carry Out Probes

News 18  

The Jharkhand state government on Thursday revoked the Central Bureau of Investigation’s power to carry out any investigation in the state. It became the eighth state to take such a decision, following in the footsteps of Maharashtra and Kerala that recently revoked the central probe agency’s powers. The powers vested in the CBI were given via an order dated February 19, 1996, by the then Bihar government to the CBI. The governments of West Bengal, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh and earlier Mizoram had recently withdrawn the general consent to the Central Bureau of Investigation, a kind of blanket nod for the agency to probe scheduled offences specified in the Delhi Special Police Establishment Act Act, 1946,” said an order from the Jharkhand government.
