Such a &#8220;provision shall contribute to independence and impartiality of the DCBI only if any and all post-retirement employment to the DCBI is precluded&#8221;.<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.legalindia.in\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/supreme-court.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"29468\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.legalindia.com\/news\/sc-notice-to-unitech-md\/supreme-court-212\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.legalindia.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/08\/supreme-court.jpg?fit=289%2C175&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"289,175\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"supreme court\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.legalindia.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/08\/supreme-court.jpg?fit=150%2C90&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.legalindia.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/08\/supreme-court.jpg?fit=289%2C175&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-29468\" alt=\"supreme court\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.legalindia.in\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/supreme-court.jpg?resize=289%2C175&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"289\" height=\"175\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.legalindia.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/08\/supreme-court.jpg?w=289&amp;ssl=1 289w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.legalindia.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/08\/supreme-court.jpg?resize=150%2C90&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 289px) 100vw, 289px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The central government Friday shot down most of the suggestions by the CBI seeking to fortify its independence, telling the Supreme Court that an all-powerful agency director without adequate checks and balances would not be in harmony with the constitutional scheme of things. &#8220;An all-powerful director CBI without adequate checks and balances would not be [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":19509,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[25477,25476,47776,47765,47774,47775,23371,25475],"class_list":["post-29513","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-top-law-news","tag-all-powerful-unchecked-cbi-director","tag-government-tells-sc","tag-national-news","tag-news","tag-todays-news","tag-todays-top-news","tag-top-news","tag-unchecked-cbi-director"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Don&#039;t want all powerful, unchecked CBI director, government tells SC - Legal News India - Supreme Court &amp;
