Law making is supposed to reduce all kinds of corruption but law making in india simply increases all varieties of corruption when so judiciary in india should be completely away from executive and legislature is my considered thought.

all these law making is like your Finance Acts indeed neither it knows what it wants to make, most such acts do not have light at the end of the tunnel....in spite of about 70 finance acts are passed and modified tell me whether any one such act really did small meaningful work, at all..look back and tell pls law makers, please be honest.

better not make too many unnecessary amendments at the drop of a hat is my advice to all law makers please, true you as a class being egotistic it is indeed doubtful, as you as a class think you are the end of the world, but such attitude you nurture is indeed counter productive.
