The Modi government has initiated a move to gain a greater say in Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) prosecutions by making the CBI’s chief prosecution officer “functionally independent” of his boss, the CBI director.

The director of prosecution (DoP) is a government nominee, unlike the CBI chief, who is selected by a panel made up of the Prime Minister, head of the opposition and the Chief Justice of India.

The latest development dilutes the effect of changes in the law made last year that ensured that the DoP, who decides if a case is fit for criminal prosecution, would have to function “under the overall supervision and control” of the CBI director.
