CJI Chandrachud on CBI: Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud on Monday (April 1, 2024) gave big advice to the major investigating agencies of the country. He said that the major investigating agencies of the country should focus only on those cases which involve national security and crimes against the nation.

Chief Justice Chandrachud, who arrived to deliver the 20th DP Kohli Memorial Lecture on the occasion of CBI Foundation Day, also talked about the increasing crime due to technology, which is creating complex challenges for the investigating agency.

This challenge was given to CBI

Justice Chandrachud said, “The CBI is being asked to investigate a wide variety of criminal cases beyond its role as an anti-corruption investigation agency. This poses a huge challenge for the CBI to live up to its motto .” The CJI further said, “I think we have expanded the major investigating agencies very little. They should focus only on those that relate to national security and economic crimes against the country.”

Emphasis laid on greater use of technology

During this time, DY Chandrachud proposed a solution to the problem, from filing FIR to digitalizing the investigation process. He said it is important to leverage technology to reduce delays caused by the high number of cases. CJI Chandrachud further said that there is a delicate balance between search, seizure powers and individual privacy rights. It is the cornerstone of a fair and just society. He also stressed the need to maintain due process at the core of this balance.

Appreciation for changing the laws of British era
DY Chandrachud praised the new criminal laws passed by the Central Government to replace the British era laws and called it an important step towards modernization of the justice system. He said the Indian Civil Code (BNS), Indian Civil Defense Code (BNSS) and Indian Evidence Act (BSA) provide a comprehensive approach to ensure uninterrupted flow of evidence. Their objective is to facilitate better coordination and cooperation among the stakeholders involved in the investigation and judicial processes.
