Forum for Good Governance (FGG) on Tuesday urged the Chief Minister Revanth Reddy to streamline the procedure for quick disposal of ACB cases. In a letter addressed to the Chief Minister, Forum for Good Governance President M. Padmanabha Reddy said rampant corruption in administration is causing a lot of sufferings to common man. In Government offices, especially in departments like Municipal Administration, Revenue, Police etc. unless bribes are paid people are not able to get the things done.

The cases registered by ACB are not prosecuted quickly. 

The Commission should send the case with their advice within two weeks to the Government. The concerned department in Secretariat should act on the inquiry report of ACB and the advice of Vigilance Commission and take decision within one month. Whenever ACB requests for permission to prosecute the tainted officials and the Vigilance Commission concurs, permission to prosecute must be accorded.

Permission to prosecute from the Government is delayed and manipulation take place in concerned department of Secretariat, he added.

The case once filed should be vigorously pursued in Court to get conviction in a years’ time. Now the cases registered are taking eight to 10 years for their logical conclusion. The percentage of success of ACB cases is hardly 60%. It should be improved by quick and proper filing of Charge Sheet and producing evidence and witness. The employees caught by ACB should not be given postings till the case is disposed ACB is registering almost 20 cases per month, due to delay and acquittal of cases people have lost confidence in effectiveness of ACB in controlling the corruption. Forum for Good Governance requests the Chief Minister to streamline the procedure for quick disposal of ACB cases.
