The Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) has sought “more clarity” in a legislation governing its mandate in probing complaints of corruption against politicians or civil servants.

Vigilance Commissioner R Srikumar said in New Delhi there was no uniformity across the states on the issue of handing over complaints to CBI for probe in corruption cases.

The CVC, functions through Central Vigilance Commission Act, 2003 which empowers it to take action against central government officials in cases coming under Prevention of Corruption Act.
