Over 7,200 CBI cases under Prevention of Corruption Act pending trial, says CVC report
Over 7,200 cases of corruption against CBI await trial, with more than 400 cases awaiting more than 20 years. In addition, 14,083 cases of appeal create additional delays. Though there is a very high rate of conviction amounting to 71.71%, long-drawn litigation reduces the effectiveness of the deterrence process.
