NEW DELHI: 39 CBI officials received the President’s Police Medal (PPM) for Distinguished Service and Indian Police Medal (IPM) for Meritorious Service during an investiture ceremony held at the CBI Academy in Ghaziabad on Thursday.

Speaking on the occasion, Union law minister Arjun Ram Meghwal said that the probe agency's investigation was being recognised as the best in the country and the high conviction rate was a testament to this recognition. This, he said, was reflected in the demands for a "CBI probe" every now and then in complex and sensitive cases by various stakeholders.

Delving on the new Criminal Laws which have been implemented with effect from July 2, Meghwal asserted that these laws would bring in ‘ease of living’ in a big way for citizenry. "These laws will expedite delivery of justice and save crucial time of all the stakeholders spent during litigation. The Minister stressed that this will prove highly productive for the nation as the energies would be channelised towards the process of development of the society and eventually lead to higher progress," he added.

Referring to India recently galloping to fifth largest economy in the world from the 11th position a few years ago, he underlined that reforms/ improvements in judicial process will also contribute to the endeavour and goal of taking India to 3rd position in the coming few years.

CBI director Praveen Sood emphasised that CBI and Law Ministry were working in a synergetic and collaborative environment to prioritise more efficient prosecution along with investigation.

Sood stressed that CBI’s role had been evolving with the passage of time, from handling primarily anti-corruption cases in the beginning to special/ economic crimes, cyber crimes, bank frauds, etc. Informing that CBI had started implementing these laws, he offered that CBI was geared to handhold states and other stakeholders in helping them in implementation of these laws.
