Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Development of North-Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh informed the Rajya Sabha in a written reply that states can't withdraw its consent to the CBI in any ongoing case with retrospective effect; it may be withdrawn only prospectively.

 

He further clarified that in the cases which are referred by the Constitutional Courts, states can't deny CBI entry into their territory as these cases do not require the consent of the State.


He pointed out that constitutional courts can entrust any case or class of case for CBI investigation in exercise of inherent jurisdiction even without the consent of the respective State Government.

 

He also read out the DPSE Act, 1946 to make his points clear.
