According to the report, this restriction can be removed by the government in the cabinet meeting. In fact, when the general consent is withdrawn, it becomes necessary for the CBI to obtain the consent of the concerned state government for investigation. If specific consent is not obtained, the officers of the investigating agency will not have the powers in the state.
