BIRTH OF <strong>CBI</strong><br />
Accordingly, the Government set up, vide Resolution<br />
st<br />
No. 4/31/61-T, dated 1 April, 1963, the <strong>Central</strong><br />
<strong>Bureau</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Investigation</strong> to investigate not only cases<br />
<strong>of</strong> bribery and corruption, but also violation <strong>of</strong><br />
central fiscal laws, and serious crimes committed by<br />
organized gangs and thugs, besides collecting<br />
supporting intelligence, statistics <strong>of</strong> crime, and<br />
conducting Police research and making special<br />
studies, and so forth.<br />
The organization drew its power <strong>of</strong><br />
investigation from the Delhi Special Police<br />
Establishment Act, 1946. Its sphere <strong>of</strong> activity<br />
(jurisdiction) was, also the same as defined by the<br />
DSPE Act, 1946, that is, Delhi territory (now State).<br />
It could, <strong>of</strong> course, go to other States also, but not<br />
without their consent. The number <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fences, which<br />
the <strong>CBI</strong> was authorized to investigate was a shade<br />
wider than before : it could now deal with most<br />
<strong>of</strong> the major <strong>of</strong>fences covered by Acts relating to<br />
corruption – 69 <strong>Central</strong> Acts and 14 State Acts, and<br />
231 IPC <strong>of</strong>fences.<br />
There was a change in the designation and<br />
rank <strong>of</strong> the Head <strong>of</strong> the <strong>CBI</strong>. He was called a Director<br />
now, and held the rank <strong>of</strong> Special Inspector-General<br />
(SIG) <strong>of</strong> Police. He was provided 'security <strong>of</strong> tenure’.<br />
Shri D.P. Kohli, the head <strong>of</strong> DSPE had the honour <strong>of</strong><br />
being the first Director <strong>of</strong> <strong>CBI</strong>.<br />
For smooth and effective functioning, the<br />
organization was divided into six Divisions:<br />
(i) <strong>Investigation</strong> and Anti-Corruption Division;<br />
North Block, New Delhi corridor<br />
leading to Director, <strong>CBI</strong> <strong>of</strong>fice.<br />
