⚖️ Case Study: Vineet Narain v. Union of India (1997)
The PIL that forced accountability — and made the CBI independent.

🧾 Background – The Hawala Scandal

In the 1990s, illegal funds were allegedly routed through hawala brokers to top politicians and bureaucrats.
Despite clear trails, the CBI stalled the investigation — raising serious concerns about political influence over investigative agencies.

Journalist Vineet Narain filed a PIL, demanding transparency and independence in investigations.

⚔️ Key Legal Issue:

👉 Can justice be served if agencies like the CBI function under executive pressure?
👉 Does lack of autonomy violate the Right to Fair Investigation under Article 21?

🧑‍⚖️ Supreme Court’s Landmark Judgment:

✅ CBI and ED must function free from political control
✅ CBI Director appointment to be made by a high-powered committee
✅ Regular oversight mechanisms introduced
✅ Laid the foundation for strengthening the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC)

🌟 Legal Takeaway:

This judgment redefined accountability, ensuring no one is above the law — not even those in power.
A cornerstone in judicial activism, PIL jurisdiction, and administrative law in India.
