Justice Dr. B. S. Chauhan, Chairman, Law Commission of India delivered the 15th lecture of the Lecture Series initiated by the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) on "Fair Investigation & Trail and Disciplinary Proceedings" here today. Justice Chauhan said that the fair investigation is a part of Fundamental Rights under Articles 20 and 21 of the Constitution of India and for this reason the investigation must be fair, transparent and judicious.

Speaking on the occasion, the Central Vigilance Commissioner Shri KV Chowdary said the CVC has recently embarked upon an outreach programme that includes going to schools and colleges and other forum to create awareness among the people on how they can contribute in checking corruption.
