The Supreme Court on Decembeer 14 ordered the Centre to adhere to directives in the CBI Manual to protect the integrity of personal data stored in electronic devices seized during raids conducted, especially, on members of the academia and media.
Appearing before a Bench of Justices Sanjay Kishan and Sudhanshu Dhulia, Additional Solicitor General S.V. Raju said this would mean training the personnel of the other agencies in the CBI’s manual.
“Train them! They are trained for doing other things. Why can’t they be trained to do this?” Justice Kaul asked.
