Special Investigation Team

 Special Investigation Team. I am not aware whether the term itself has been defined somewhere.
Where the facts are complicated and going through these would involve spending much judicial time, SC may appoint a body of persons, to do this spadework and come to them ,with details so culled out for further action in the matter.
On $th July, 2011, the SC appointed a SIT, headed by former SC Judge to investigate into black money, stashed in foreign banks, with a direction that in their investigations the SIT would be independent, answerable only to the SC.
It is not unusual for the SC to appoint amicus curiae to help them in certain type of cases. A SIT appointed by the Court acts in somewhat similar capacity.
This is done in cases where it may be that the existing investigative agencies are not perceived to be able to conduct a proper investigation in the matter. As there is no law which specifies who can be appointed to an SIT, the appointments are at the discretion of the government which has been directed to setup an SIT.

Any SIT thus formed does not have the power or finality of the Court. The Court is free to accept or reject any report made by them. In any report made by SIT, the report will be first placed before the court of first instance and will undergo scrutiny at all the stages of appeal. If report is rejected in the process, it remains for the appellate court to decide what is to be the fate of the case.

SITs  have been appointed in only a few high profile cases, the most famous being the Gujarat riots case and the most recent being the Madhyamgram gang rape case.

MADIA GOND

Scholars believe Gonds settled in Gondwana, now known as eastern MadhyaPradesh, between the ninth and thirteenth centuriesAD. Muslim writers describe a rise of Gond states after the fourteenth century. Gond dynasties ruled in four kingdoms (Garha-Mandla, Deogarh, Chanda, and Kherla) in central India between the sixteenth and mid-eighteenth centuries. Maratha power swept into Gond land in the 1740s. They overthrew Gondrajas(princes) and seized most of their territory. Some Gondzamindaris(estates) survived until recently. However, Gonds are similar to many tribal groups today in that they face severe economic hardships. Although some Gond groups own a great deal of land, others are classified as Scheduled Tribes, which means they need special social and economic help. FOLKLORE Hereditary bards and professional storytellers called Pardhans tell stories about Gond legends and myths. This makes for a rich oral tradition. In these stories, it is said that when Gond gods were bor

Thus, banks always try to adopt latest technologies to enhance customer experience. But the digitization  of banks is not benefited, the long queue in nationalize  banks are normal view in these days.
