Centre Can't Extend CBI's Jurisdiction Without State's Consent: Top Court

The CBI cannot step into an investigation without a state government's consent and the centre cannot extend the agency's jurisdiction to a state without permission either, the Supreme Court has ruled in a petition by officials accused in a corruption case in Uttar Pradesh. "As per law, state consent is a must and the Centre cannot extend CBI jurisdiction without the state's consent. The law is in tune with the federal structure of the constitution," the Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday.
