The Minister of Law & Justice has said that there does not appear to be any shortage of Public Prosecutors before various Courts for conducting prosecution on behalf of Central Government. Giving this information in written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha, Shri Salman Khurshid said that in exercise of the powers conferred by the provisions of sections 24 and 25 of the Criminal Procedure Code, 1973, and/ or under relevant provisions of special statutes, Central Government appoints public prosecutors, including special public prosecutors, in Criminal cases on behalf of Central Government before various courts. He said that besides this his Ministry has also authorized certain Ministries/ Departments viz. Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Home Affairs, Department of Personnel and Training etc. to have their own panel of public prosecutors for smooth conduct of prosecution.
