''The nature and job requirement of director, CBI and director, enforcement directorate are not similar to the nature and functions of most other sensitive posts and, therefore, it would not be possible to adopt a uniform procedure for filling up various posts,'' Minister of State for Personnel Vasundhara Raje said in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha.

Government has rejected a central vigilance commission proposal for setting up a neutral committee to suggest names for appointment to all sensitive posts like the principle applied in the case of directors for CBI and enforcement directorate.

Central vigilance commissioner N Vittal had expressed the view that in order to de-link the possibility of corrupt elements in the bureaucracy or politics coming together, the principle, as used for filling up the post of directors of CBI and ED, of neutral committees to suggest a panel of names for each of these posts, could be adopted for all sensitive posts, the minister said.

“The CVC had suggested that the appointment to sensitive posts should be made only from the panel recommended by the neutral committee and the officer so appointed should be in position for two-three years and should not be disturbed,” he said.
''It is not possible to draw any analogy between the posts filled under the central staffing scheme with that of the post of director, CBI or director of enforcement directorate,'' the minister said. Bureau Report
