Liability of government officials

Dear sir/madam

Union and state Governments recruits personals to serve the public.

He get immunity from several quarters apart from job guarantee. More over he enjoys good amount of authority and privileges.

In case, the public servant fails to perform is his specific duty for what ever be the reason --- negligence, incompetence, lethargy, partisan attitude.. etc --- what are the legal ways to make him liable for his inaction.

Here is a case study.... The government of Andhra Pradesh set up an housing corporation to provide constructed houses at a price 25 per cent less than market price.

Thousands have applied and the houses were allotted. most of the applicants have paid the amounts in full.

Forget about providing the houses at 25 per cent less price, the corporation in-ordinarily delayed the construction of houses.

I am not asking for any compensation for delayed construction..
That point is how to make the officials responsible for and be punished for their inability or inefficiency or lack of interest to do their assigned job.

Please suggest how to proceed in court of law for their lapses and make the officials right from the managing director of the corporation responsible and punish them.

Regards

Will

my mother has a house [flat] registered in her name and she is no more now. But I know that the flat was purchased from the salary earnings of my two brothers and registered in my mothers name as a common property. My brothers have obtained a unregistered will written by my mother that the flat has to go to two brothers only. Though I have no intention to claim a share, but my husband and my children wants me to file case to claim a share in the flat.Is there any chance to win the case.If so what I should do. Will it be too expensive?

How to seek clarification of order from high court

The situation is thus:-

Third party had filed objection against registration of lease deed. The lease deed was registered without hearing the third party. On complaint by the third party, the lease deed was deregistered. A writ for quashing deregistration order was filed by lessee. During hearing the High Court asked parties whether there was any objection if it quashed the deregistration order and also remitted the matter back to Registrar office with directions to hear the original objection against registration filed by the third party. This was agreeable to all parties and thus order was passed.

But in Registrar office a different interpretation of the High Court's order was submitted by the lessor and lessee. This was possible because the High Court's order was a bit cryptic. The Registrar's office also sided with their interpretation against the interpretation submitted by the third party.

My query. Based on these developments, can a petition be filed in the High Court for clarification of its order? And if so, under what provision can it be done?

Thank you for taking the time to read my query, and if you are replying, thank you for doing so.

Consumer protection


Background: A RTI applicant asked for some information from a bar council thro RTI application. PIO of BAR also furnished it in a CD on payment of Rs.100/-prescribed fee by the applicant. But, after receiving CD in a week ago and while using CD, the applicant found that some of the files were NOT OPENING / NOT RESPONDING... (may be virus affected/corrupted files etc)....at this point of time...

Questions are
1. Can this applicant request PIO of BAR to provide (say replacement) a fault free /readable/workable files to applicant AGAIN free of Cost throu a letter?

2. Or can he move directly to Consumer Forum alleging on PIO about the "defective service" ( now a days.. RTI applicants can move to consumer forum for non responsive / defective service of PIOs.. etc)

3. Any other suitable suggestions pls

Thanks & Regards

Dear Experts,

If an Indian party enters into some agreement with any foreign party and that foreign party chooses England a seat of arbitration then does it affect adversely to the Indian party? What should be done in such case? Is there any harm in accepting a foreign place as seat of arbitration for us?

Plz advice.

Transfer of shares of indian entity to a foreign entity - agricultural land

To the experts,

An Indian company (which holds some agricultural land) wants to transfer its entire shareholding to a foreign entity. This is otherwise possible since the company is engaged in a business where 100% FDI is permitted.

The concern is with respect to holding agricultural land. Would that be a bar in any manner keeping in mind that no FDI is permitted in the agricultural sector. Please advise urgently.
