Jan. 12 – The Delhi High Court will uphold its bench order that includes the office of the Chief Justice of India within the scope of the Right to Information (RTI) Act and requires judges to declare their assets.
The bench made up of Chief Justice A.P. Shah and Justices S. Muralidhar and Vikramjeet Sen told Zee News: “RTI has over-reaching impact. Citizens who require such information should not misuse the information, thus saving the independence of (the) judiciary.”
The Chief Justice of India’s office is considered a public authority therefore included under the purview of the RTI. The judgement is considered groundbreaking for being a step towards improved transparency in the judicial system.
Senior Supreme Court lawyer Prashant Bhushan was quoted by Zee News as saying: “This is a historic verdict, it will enhance the stature of judiciary in the eyes of people of India.”
He added: “It’s a ‘bold decision’ on a highly sensitive issue but it was legally and constitutionally correct, where for the first time a decision has been given against the superior court.”
The Government is watching the Hockey player versus administration drama closely but won’t do anything until the image of the Nation is tarnished. Who is responsible for such shameful act which is going ion in Hockey game on the eve of world cup?
Administration or political leaders fully enjoy the post and the hidden money (they have government money) they have in their disposal. They never take the entire team along with them. They can be awakened only by movements, strikes, violent processions, bund, burning of buses, lock out of the system, beating of ministers or bosses etc. It is common feature in all offices and all departments run by the government directly or indirectly.
All bosses are similar, may be cricket board or hockey board or any office or court in the country. Hockey players are frustrated as employees in government offices Players may be getting enough but they are jealous of their bosses, administrators who are enjoying more and more without doing anything and this is the reason that they are on warpath. Every now and then, we come across the fighting among various persons in cricket board for getting control. It means there is huge money and huge scope of getting wealthy for administration.
If any boss in any department or any board has to work honestly, effectively and sincerely without any hope for extra money along with extra respect I think most of them would like to quit and discard the post.
Lastly Hockey players should market Hockey play and make it so much popular that they also start getting award from various sponsors and sports loving institutes just as what happens with cricket players.
The basis problem of all corruption is nothing but greed for money, desire to become more and more powerful superseding others. And the reason for perpetuation of corrupt practices, rather rise in corruption and spread of its nasty network is that there is no fear of punishment. Even courts are not active, efficient and corruption free and hence justice to the aggrieved is also not available, Justice delayed is justice denied.
