Complaint against Babus - No action on anonymous or pseudonymous complaints
IF you want to make a complaint against a Government officer, you should have the guts to disclose your identity - otherwise the complaint will go into the dustbin.
The Central Vigilance Commission had vide its circular Nos. 3(v)/99/2 dated 29th June, 1999 and 31st January, 2002 prescribed that no action should be taken on any anonymous or pseudonymous complaints. However, an enabling provision was made subsequently, vide circular dated 11th October, 2002, that if any, verifiable facts contained in such complaints are proposed to be looked into, prior concurrence of the Commission is required to be taken by the departments/organizations.
The Commission now prescribes that no action should be taken on anonymous/pseudonymous complaints by Ministries/Departments/Organisations in line with its earlier instructions dated 29th June, 1999 and 31st January, 2002 and such complaints should be filed. Commission's circular dated 11th October, 2002 stands withdrawn with immediate effect.
