Madhya Pradesh's CBI Move: Agency Needs Written Consent To Probe Cases | Read

The Madhya Pradesh government on Thursday said the CBI requires written consent from the state before it can initiate inquiries in its jurisdiction. A notification to this effect was published on Tuesday.

The order has retrospective effect; it will have been in effect from July 1.

Home Department sources said this was necessary following the implementation of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, one of three new criminals laws passed by the central government, to ensure compliance with the new legal framework. Sources said the notification was crucial to adhere to the changes.
