The conference of the Special Police Establishment and State Anti-Corruption Officers held at New Delhi in November 1960 discussed the question of the creation of a central pool of technical experts to help in the investigation of corruption cases. At the instance of the Conference, the Government of India appointed a Sub-Committee to examine this question. One of the terms of reference of the Sub-Committee was to consider the adequacy of existing facilities and make suggestions for action to be taken to improve them. After examining this item, the Sub-Committee recommended that it would be necessary to send general directive to the institutions and organisations which offer technical assistance and conduct laboratory tests to extend the facilities available with them and to give full cooperation to the investigating agencies whenever approached for expert opinion, laboratory tests of technical advice.
2. A statement showing the institutions and organisations existing in this State which offer technical assistance and conduct laboratory tests is enclosed. The officers in-charge of these institutions and organisations are requested to extend facilities available with them and to give full cooperation to the Anti-Corruption Bureau to this State, the Special Police Establishment of the Government of India, Hyderabad, and the Anti-Corruption Agencies of other States whenever they approach them for expert, laboratory test or technical advice.
