Another amendment to the Delhi Special Police Establishment Act states
that any vacancy or absence in the panel will not render the appointment
of the CBI Director invalid.
Minister of State for Personnel Jitendra Singh introduced the Bill amid din over the black money issue.
As per the DSPE (Amendment) Bill, 2014, Section 4 (A) of the Act will be amended to include the leader of the single largest opposition party in the selection panel that selects the CBI Director when there is no recognised Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha.
"No appointment of a Director shall be invalid merely by reason of any vacancy or absence of a member in the committee," the Bill said.
The enactment of the Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act (also known as Lokpal Act) this year has automatically amended the DSPE Act to make changes in the selection panel.
Under the existing provisions, the CBI chief has to be appointed by the central government on the basis of recommendation of the selection committee headed by the Prime Minister, and comprising the LoP and the Chief Justice of India or a Supreme Court judge nominated by him, as members.
