In this landmark judgment from Hon’ble Supreme Court, it has given a statutory shape to the CVC and to endow it with wider powers including supervision over Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED). Indeed the Supreme Court, while giving the said directions had relied upon the report of the Independent Review Committee (IRC) comprising Shri B. G. Deshmukh, former Cabinet Secretary, Shri N. N. Vohra, Principal Secretary to the PM and Shri S. V. Giri, Central Vigilance Commissioner, which Committee was constituted under the Government Order dated 8th September, 1997. The directions of the Supreme Court are quite elaborate and they extend to the appointment, powers and functioning of CVC, CBI and ED all designed to insulate the said institutions from political control and to invest them with good amount of independence coupled with accountability.

In this judgment from Hon’ble Delhi High Court, it was held that the prosecution could not prove the offence of incest laid on the father.
Per Para 26,
While it is true that the evidence of the prosecutrix deserves to be given weight and in certain circumstances can be acted upon without any corroboration, in cases of incest, there is always a need for greater and more acute scrutiny, inasmuch as such allegations against persons related by blood (own biological father, for example) smack of bestial instinct and total absence of basic human values and discretion. It is sad to note that the trial Judge blindly accepted the prosecution story without going into the aspects which render it highly improbable, virtually impossible. The erroneous approach of the trial court has led to serious miscarriage of justice in the present case unreasonably holding the biological father of raping his own daughter in the teeth of loaded circumstances showing her to be of wayward ways and possibly in liaison with a male acquaintance.
Hon’ble High Court of Gauhati has held that “209 IPC should be complaint from magistrate and not private complaint“.
