Crouption in Judiciary

First the draft should be published widely before it comes out from the Parliament in the form of an Act, because sometimes the Act comes out in different manner from the Bill originaly introduced in the Parliament.

In most of the cases, even the litigants do not know what is being said on his behalf in the court. Mostly, He simply puts signature on whatever documents are given to him by his advocate. At times, he is called in the court and just before the filing, he is asked to sign the papers that he does. Of course, the entire liability for whatever has been said or written on his behalf, is his and his only and he has to face the consequences thereof come what may.

Advocates are paid better fees and better advocates are hired by the unscrupulous people who want to abuse the process of law by filing false/frivolous cases to blackmail the others. Courts are always reluctant to proceed under section 340 Cr.P.C. giving an open field to the unscupulous to play.

I feel that whenever a judgment is passed, there must be a follow up note by the judge speaking on whether the law has been abused by any of the litigants by filing false/fabricated documents or by making contradictory statements or by giving false evidence or whether the litigation was filed bonafide and whenever such abuse is noticed, it must be mad e mendatory for the court to invoke section 340 Cr.P.C. and book the culprits. This shall avoid lots of unnecessary/false/frivolous litigations.

Computer and Auditor General (CAG) submitted one report on Wednesday (10/11/2010) to the Govt. of India on the controversial 2G spectrum allotment which has caused a loss of Rs. 1,76,000·00 crores. Roughly, this works to Rs. 1,700·00 per head of Indian Population. In India, roughly 25% population falls in the category which earns less than Rs. 40/- per day. This sum works out to more than 6 months income of this 25% population of this huge country.

            This is the magnitude of one corruption by just one minister in just one deal. Number of ministers all over the country shall run into more than thousand and number of deals by them in a year may be thousands per minister. This is the corruption at the top level. Then comes the MPs and MLAs and beaurocracy and who not.

                Poor public of this country who does not even understand how is he being looted by all concerned with both the hands, is becoming poorer day by day. Supreme Court judges Justice Markendaya Katju and Justice T.S. Thakur while dealing with a case relating to one Income Tax Inspector recently remarked that “nothing moves without money in Govt. Departments”. They expressed concern over growing corruption in Government machinery stating “it is unfortunate that there is no control over corruption in the country. There is rampant corruption particularly in the department of Income Tax, Sales Tax and Excise Department”. Surcastically, Hon’ble Supreme Court remarked “why not Government legalize corruption so that a specific amount is fixed for every case. Let us say if a man wants his case to be settled, he can be asked to pay Rs. 2,500·00. That way every individual will know how much bribe he has to pay. There is no need for any bargaining by the official and the payee will also know before hand how much they have to pay without any worrying”.  

            The Hon’ble bench sought the views of Senior Counsel K.K. Venugopal on its suggestion to legalize corruption in the country. Sri Venugopal said that is would be better if good moral values are imparted in every school of the country as part of their curriculum so that at least the future generation is free from the menace of corruption.

            But what Mr. Venugopal said he did not mean – it was reflected in another case before the same bench where he appeared for an accused in a cheque bounce case. Justice Katiju had to remark “Mr. Veu Gopal! We did not expect at least a counsel of your stature to appear for such people”. He further observed that “Mahatma Gandhi was also an advocate but he never appeared for such people”.

            Interestingly and shockingly, Mr. Venu Gopal shot back saying “My Lord in that case I would be losing most of my clients”.

            The message to the public at large is loud and clear that even the counsel of the stature of Mr. Venu Goapl too have most of his clients of such category. Cases of Counsels of less stature than him or of the junior advocates are even worse.

            Innocents who have been dragged in the court in false cases by the unscrupulous are already sufferers in the hands of the process of law and moreover, they have some hopes of justice in their case (they being innocent), they can not and do not pay as high fees to their advocates as may be and is usually paid by the unscrupulous people who have filed litigation just to blackmail and to make the unlawful gain.

            Case of Sri S.U. Khan and Sri R.K. Anand, both Senior Advocates – referred in the press couple of year back confirms the above theory.

            Those who can manipulate and manage are more successful than those who do not. Principles for Economics – Bad money drives good money out of the market – holds good here too and those who do not, become failure in every walk of their life.

            In the premises, whether it will be in the propriety of things to impart moral values in the schools? Shall this not make those would be fathers of the nation to be unfit to survive and match in this corrupt society.

            Those who fight against corruption, have to pay a price. Recently, in Tinsukia (Assam), one Labour Inspector Sri Prem Singh Narzary was caught red handed accepting the bribe from a businessman. The businessman was harassed beyond proportions and was compelled to pay a bribe of Rs. 5,000·00. He reported the matter in confidence to the Deputy Commissioner Dr. K.K. Dwivedi who laid a trap and the Labour Inspector was caught red handed. But nothing happened latter. The entire labour department stood to rescue the inspector and the businessman was branded as a man of doubtful integrity. No charge sheet has been filed as yet and that Labour Inspector – courtesy the Goddess of money Laxmi – though suspended for three months, was re-instated later and is still serving the department.

            In the 2G spectrum case quoted above, the AIADMK Chief J. Jayalitna offered to back UPA if Raja be sacked and the DMK withdraw the support to the Govt. Though Congress chose to continue on the boat of DMK and rejected the offer, is this offer not a corruption and does not it indicate what all is going on in politics. It obviously brings to limelight the way the politicians in our country think and bargain in their own vested interests without caring for the law or the legitimacy of their action or inaction.

            Scenario in the administration of justice too is no better. As to Judiciary, Hon’ble Justice J.S. Varma had once commented that more than 30% of the judges in Supreme Court are corrupt. Litigants in the Court do not even know what is being said by their advocates on their behalf in the Court, since the administration of justice has become too formal and too time taking in this country where delays always defeat the equity.

            About more than a year back, one businessman was arrested by police at Tinsukia and he was demanded huge money to get rid of the criminal charges against him. When he expressed his inability to meet the demand, he was made stark naked and beaten mercilessly in the police station.

            He lodged a complaint in the Court of Chief Judicial Magistrate at Tinsukia where it is still pending.

            On a case having been filed by him in the National Human Right commission (NHRC), a report was interestingly sought by NHRC from Tinsukia Police. Obviously report was manipulated in favour of the police officer. Based on the police report, NHRC closed the case.

            Should the public shut his eyes over whatever is going on in the country and bear with it or acclimatize the scenario or they should revolt and if so, in which way?

            About more than a year back, one businessman was arrested by police at Tinsukia and he was demanded huge money to get rid of the criminal charges against him. When he expressed his inability to meet the demand, he was made stark naked and beaten mercilessly in the police station.

            He lodged a complaint in the Court of Chief Judicial Magistrate at Tinsukia where it is still pending.

            On a case having been filed by him in the National Human Right commission (NHRC), a report was interestingly sought by NHRC from Tinsukia Police. Obviously report was manipulated in favour of the police officer. Based on the police report, NHRC closed the case.

            Should the public shut his eyes over whatever is going on in the country and bear with it or acclimatize the scenario or they should revolt and if so, in which way?
