Faith of Anti Corruption Laws

All the anti-corruption laws and Enforcement agencies like CVC CBI etc have failed miserably. They are reduced to mere a tool of ruling party. General mass have lost faith on them becoz of their poor track record in bringing the cases to the conclusion.

Every measure has failed in dealing with corruption.  Only Bihar has started showing good result under the leadership of Nititsh Kumar.

At rapid pace Corruption is spreading its wings with public support . Without a wholesome commitment by public to disband corrupt practices, no law can be effective even under military rule.

CBI IS  another corrupt bureau of investigation. They dont even what are their dutis then how they know about the functioning of other departments.  When they go for a raid in a house, the accused is in a matter of shoch and they take this opportunity and swindle whatever they get into their hands. like gold ornaments etc.  In case iof they catcha big fish and they rcover 40 cr they will show only 25 cr rst they swallow.

Miss Mala,

After all why Corruption thrives and how. It's because You & I let it happen to ensure our small comforts  sacrificing the nation in general. So, take this opportunity to rise above all selfish interest, on the very next occaission to prove our committment to the cause and keep it up till the end.

It is a shocking news that the family of Justice K G Balakrishnan is involved in corrupt practices.  Please read the comment of a living legend of our country, Justice VR Krishna Iyer on the issue.

Former Supreme Court judge justice (retd) VR Krishna Iyer and other legal experts on Monday demanded a high-level probe into various allegations against family members of the former Supreme Court Chief Justice KG Balakrishnan.

Malayalam news channel Asianet News reported on Sunday that Balakrishnan's son-in-law, PV Sreenijan, who had a meagre bank balance and no land four years ago, went on to amass property worth at least Rs7 crore since then.

The channel reported Sreenijan had unsuccessfully contested the assembly election from Kerala's Narackkal constituency in Ernakulam district on a Congress ticket in 2006. His affidavit to the Election Commission then said he had a bank balance of Rs25,000 and no landed property.

According to land registration documents cited by the channel, Sreenijan purchased 2.5 acres of a riverfront property for Rs14 lakh in Thrissur in 2007. Local residents said the market rate for one cent (one-hundredth of an acre) of the land is Rs2 lakh — meaning it is worth Rs5 crore.

The channel also showed footage of a sprawling resort under construction on the riverfront property.

In 2009, Sreenijan and wife KB Sony (Balakrishnan's daughter) jointly purchased 30 cents of land in the heart of Kochi, paying Rs1 lakh a cent — or Rs30 lakh for the property. The going rate for the plot now is Rs8 lakh per cent – or Rs2.4 crore.

The channel reported that Sreenijan's income tax returns for 2009-2010 showed his annual income as Rs25 lakh and that of his wife as Rs15 lakh.

It is really shocking that K G Balakrishnan is involved in corrupt practices.

Any way Honest  are forced to pay the price of dishonest.

Do you know, recently a Vigilance Tribunal in Kerala faced suspension on the allegation of bribe and corruption. Yes we have great successors for the CVC Mr. Thomas, in Kerala 

What P D Dinakaran deed, does he deserve to continue in judiciary. he has been made CJ of Sikkim HC, Are people of sikkim are our enemy. Why they should have corrupt CJ, have they committed any crime.

Duty of the Judge to maintain high standard of conduct. Its judicial individualism - whether protection imperative? Judicial office is essentially a public trust. Society is, therefore, entitled to except that a Judge must be a man of high integrity, honesty and required to have moral vigour, ethical firmness and impervious to corrupt or venial influences. He is required to keep most exacting standards of propriety in judicial conduct. Any conduct which tends to undermine public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the court would be deleterious to the efficacy of judicial process. Society, therefore, expects higher standards of conduct and rectitude from a Judge. Unwritten code of conduct is writ large for judicial officers to emulate and imbibe high moral or ethical standards expected of a higher judicial functionary, as wholesome standard of conduct which would generate public confidence, accord dignity to the judicial office and enhance public image, not only of the Judge but the court itself. It is, therefore, a basic requirement that a Judge's official and personal conduct be free from impropriety; the same must be in tune with the highest standard of propriety and probity. The standard of conduct is higher than expected of a layman and also higher than expected of an advocate. In fact, even his private life must adhere to high standards of probity and propriety, higher than those deemed acceptable for others. Therefore, the Judge can ill-afford to seek shelter from the fallen standard in the society.

Supreme Court in 1995 (5) SCC  457

Whether Justice KGB followed this 

The society's demand for honesty in a Judge is exacting and absolute. The standards of judicial behaviour, both on and off the Bench, are normally extremely high. For a judge to deviate from such standards of honesty and impar- tiality is to betray the trust reposed on him. No excuse or no legal relativity can condone such betrayal. From the standpoint of justice the size of the bribe or scope of corruption cannot be the scale for measuring a judge's dishonour. A single dishonest judge not only dishonours himself and disgraces his office but jeopardises the integ- rity of the entire judicial system.
