New norms to nab retired corrupt babus


-PTI

The Centre has issued a new set of guidelines to seize properties or money of corrupt government officials even after their retirement. 

The norms, made in consultation with the ministry of law and justice, says a competent authority in the department concerned can give sanction to the Centre for such attachment. The guidelines assume significance as most departments and investigating agencies like the CBI have in the past expressed difficulty in acting against corrupt public servants who have retired pending chargesheets or charges under the Prevention of Corruption Act. 

"Departments had written to us seeking clarification while attaching properties of a corrupt officials. More difficulties were being faced in case of retired government officials. Hence, we decided to get the issue resolved," a senior official of the department of personnel and training said.
