The Central Vigilance Commission has the power of superintendence for all the functions of the CBI.

This statement is incorrect. The Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) does have superintendence over the functioning of the CBI, but it is not for "all" functions. The CVC exercises superintendence only in relation to the investigation of offenses under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988.

The CBI has to take the permission mandatorily of the state governments to conduct any investigation within the respective states.

This statement is incorrect. The CBI has the authority to investigate certain specified offenses without the need for the state government's permission. However, for other offenses, the CBI may need the state government's consent.

CBI not only conducts investigation but also prosecution of its cases in the courts.

This statement is correct. The CBI not only conducts investigations but also takes its cases to court for prosecution.

Therefore, the correct option is 2 (3 only).
