(e):  The concerned Administrative Authorities process for action on receipt of advice of CVC. However,  cases  pertaining  to  corruption, inter-alia ,  involve  detailed  scrutiny  and  analysis  of voluminous  case  records  and  evidence,  consultation  with  CVC,  State  Governments  and  other related agencies, etc. In some cases, court directions/stay may have a bearing on time taken in disposal  of  cases.  Nonetheless,  the  CVC  regularly  reviews  pending  cases  and  wherever inordinate delays are observed in implementation of its advices, the matter is pursued with the concerned Administrative Authorities.
