Prosecution of Corruption Cases

The number of persons in corruption cases registered by CBI/number of persons awarded punishment/conviction and number of cases pending trial during the last three years and the current year is as under:

Year	Number of persons in corruption cases registered by CBI	Number of persons awarded punishment/conviction	Number of cases pending trial
2005	4897	407	4942
2006	4666	619	6459
2007	2201	587	6673
2008 (upto30.11.2008)	1347	421	6773

As an investigating agency, it is the endeavour of the CBI to complete the investigation of cases in accordance with law in a professional manner. At the conclusion of investigation, a report u/s 173 of Cr.P.C. is presented before the competent Court, which examines and decides the matter as per law. Conviction in the case is dependent on facts, circumstances and availability of evidence, and statements of witnesses before the Court. The CBI also endeavours through constant monitoring/supervision, to ensure that there is no delay in trial on its part.

Government does not intervene in the judicial functioning of the Courts. However, Government has set up 39 Courts of Special Judges/Magistrates in various States exclusively for trial of CBI cases.

This information was given by the Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office, ShriPrithviraj Chavan in a written reply to a question in Lok Sabha today.

Catching is all right? What about conviction?

i waznted to know when a person was takden into custody either he was threatened with or under pressure or a thing which he donot know what he is saying because of the situation and application of mind donot work when cbi arrests . so he said something which is not at all possible or he cannot do it. it is not in his power to do so also. this he can very well prove it. will the court give decidesw only on the basis of statement which he had given under custody or he will be given chance to say somehtin ing court.

secondly the person who was taken into custody one year back and now he is on bail neither his name figured in the fir nor any fir is filed against him till date . so is there any law which gives such rights to cbi to arrest a person without name in the fir and sent him to jaiol
